Horner story keeps churning away. Now the claim is that Verstappen's former manager (why not his current one?) met with the Thai bosses in Dubai and informed them at if Horner stays, Verstappen is gone. Have no idea if there is any solid basis behind this. Article is here:

Needless to say, Verstappen to Mercedes in 2025 would be good for F1. I gather that would them mean Sainz to Red Bull. I don't either of these moves are likely.
There are more rumours floating around, but it's tiring to keep up with everything.
1. Thai owner is on a collision course with Austrians. I am not really knowledgeable whether business law allows for one shareholder to make idiots from other shareholders, ignore them, but I am assuimng he knows what he is doing.
2. Thai wants to move business to Dubai from Austria. (Taxes?)
3. Horner aspires to become to become czar of the business with powers exceeding 49% shareholder. It would have been already done deal. What's holding it back (alledgedly) is uncertain outcome of the appeal process.
I ask - Should he bust the business, can Mark get his shares at the price level they are today?
etc.
I am merely curious what business education and experience Horner has which qualifies him for such position.
Max - Toto confirmed that Max is on the top of his list of candidates. Seb and Toto are talking, but not about the F1 (said Seb).
Carlos - Sainz Sr. wants junior in a winning team next year. Well, I am not sure which team that is, but it might be only Mercedes and/or RBR.
