Also, I know we’re all navigating this one with care - and incidentally like 99% of you have been real champs in respecting it all - but Mark Hughes also mentions something surprising about the complainant’s role at Red Bull. Please continue to discuss but tread lightly. Please do not name her unless the press do too and then I guess we’ll look at it all again. Anyway…

I didn’t know she worked for Newey too.

Newey must have been aware of the bits and pieces directly plus indirectly, from all sides. Kind of nerve lacking position to be in. I might hate the situation as such.

I wouldn’t have wanted to have been made aware of anyone’s bits and pieces, that’s for sure.

Wow, if that's true, it's almost weird Newey has been quiet on the topic for months.

You get the feeling he hasn't been quiet behind the scenes though.

I've just read in a french website that Verstappen will talk to Mercedes boss after Miami GP, he would bring Marko with him and few engineers to Mercedes.

I’d reckon.  It doesn’t do her case or her emotional state any good to jump in publicly but hopefully with someone like him speaking up inside it can help or at least garner more support for her inside the org.  When someone in a position of power and influence speaks out it's easier for some to speak out as well if they felt threatened.  Even though he can write his own ticket wherever he wishes to go it shows integrity to stand up and make a statement by leaving.

This might be allowed under UK employment law:

 

“She has not been allowed to see the whole of the report which cleared Horner and has no clarity as to why the inquiry reached its decision."

 

but, if so, it says a lot about Red Bull's bad faith in handling the matter. Disgraceful.
