A bit of Red Bull Racing gossip

Thought I’d share this in here, seemed the appropriate place…

 

I know the wife (not like that, stop it) of a man who works for RBR on the driver development side of things.  Apparently, he and Gary Horner (father of Christian) were working recently at Anglesey for a couple of days, staying locally at a hotel.

 

(A little back story (alleged - but true - allegedly, he said, covering myself legally)… Gary and his wife are not big fans of Christian’s red-headed squeeze, in any way, shape, or form.  That might well be because they don’t like how she came into his life and the fact that Christian left his wife of many years and their newborn child to be with Geri.  Gary and his wife (allegedly) still have regular happy, friendly contact with Christian’s ex-wife and grandchild.)

 

Back to the story… Gary Horner and employee are at dinner in this Anglesey hotel, and become aware that two of the lady employees are watching them intently, whispering to each other.  Eventually, the pair are brave enough to approach the table.  “Excuse me… do I know who you are?”

 

Gary: “Who do you think I am?”

 

”Are you Geri Haliwell’s father-in-law?”

 

Apparently the temperature in the room dropped dramatically and quickly… 🤣

Interesting were any Red Bull cars there?

 

Under the most recent version of the F1 Sporting Regulations, passed for 2023, Article 24 carves out the regulations for the summer shutdown. Titled “Competitor Factory Shutdown Period,” Article 24 begins as follows: All Competitors must observe a shutdown period of fourteen (14) consecutive days during the months of July and/or August.

I believe it was either F2 or F3 related.
