https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/h...bull/10741289/
it is unknown at this stage who controls the 2%. regardless, it doesn't affect me and I will never know. it's possible the Thai person gave it up to the Austrians as they are actually running the business while he appears to be a sleeping partner to me, though i am most likely wrong.

time to go out for a drive ...

Oh dear. It seems to be a reverse Waterloo. What a mess. Keep in mind the idiots that fired Horner probably have no idea what it takes to manage an F1 team at such a high level and for so long. Only Ross Brawn possibly had more tenure and management skill. Such types of men are very hard to find and replace, and from what I see on the video Horner's rapid replacement is made of Jello.

Horner screwing over Albon because he was forced to hire him did not go down well with the Thai shareholders...that probably didn't help.

I think the complete disaster at the home Red Bull Ring was the final straw.

That's easy, the same one as Alain Prost's most likely, def a case for some layering of the folds and Grecian 2000 to bring the natural colour back
