Breaking news! Horner has officially left Red Bull...

Laurent Mekies is the new CEO of Red Bull team now. Honestly I'm not surprised with Horner's departure. He has already been rumoured with leaving. But I thought maybe it wouldn't happen before the end of the season. Tongue

Now I have a stronger feeling like Verstappen will join Mercedes from the beginning of next season. There is already a so-called offer by Mercedes around 100 million euros for him now.

Or sacking Horner could be desperate attempt to keep Max in team. There is two versions of this decision. But now Red Bull looks like falling house of cards. Loosing key staff like Newey, or Wheatley, they're very likely to lose Verstappen andnow they sacked someone who in 20 years built team basically from zero to dominating force in F1

Yeah it looks like there's gonna be a couple of long breaks in the summer this season for both July and August. They surely need it given the more hectic schedule in F1 as of late. We've been seeing more weekly races than in the past as before every race was almost always every couple of weeks.

Personally I don't like such schedule. Yeah, it's cool to have double or triple headers, but then having 3 or 4 weeks break between races is too much for me.
