      Or that the owners are fed up with the car being bad, and scared max might leave and they would be the worst team on the grid.

          Yup, that was the final straw for me, and watching F1 in general. Its already a sport that has literally the worst people in the world involved from human rights and environmental standpoints, and then even the western part of the sport doesn’t have any integrity.

          What ever happened to honorable men…

            There’s been very few in F1. There has however been a long history of lying, cheating, spying, poaching, backstabbing, money laundering, insider trading, influence peddling, drug running, fake sponsors, fake princes, tobacco money, oil money, dictator money, Russian oligarch money and money that was never there in the first place and left a string of debts.

              To be fair, with so much money orbiting around it, it’s a wonder it’s not MORE corrupt

        They would have probably given him a reason if he was sacked for team performance.

        Fired immediately without reason given sounds like something major.

      I think Red Bull knew the allegations were true all this time but now with the teams shitty performance they probably felt like it was a good time to give him the boot.

      No proof has been found that he was guilty, according to the court records. So unless new proof shows up from somewhere, this most likely isn’t the case. It could be that RBR was keeping some proof away from the court case, which could be illegal, but that they now display it.

      Personally, I am a bit careful with the accusations, since it wouldn’t be the first time that somebody lied to get somebody else convicted for something. Women are always believed in cases like this, even when they lie about them abusing their male partner or whatever.

      Or that first set was the tip of the iceberg and they’re getting ahead of it?

      Baseless speculation
