Don't rule out McLaren. Things could get really feisty this season. Pre Season testing would be interesting to watch rather than these livery launches.

Red Bull racing boss Christian Horner is under investigation for some inappropriate behaviour, with some sort of investigation done by external lawyers. Hearing happening this Friday (9-FEb) as per some people. Apparently Red Bull wants to wrap it up before the car launch. And there are rumours that Christian will be asked to step down, since some sort of incriminating evidence is found.

News portals are reporting various sorts of things. Aggressive / inappropriate behavior without actually mentioning exact accusations.

I do not think this will have any bearing on Red Bull's performance this season in 2024. If the car is good (i.e., if it continues to be better than the others) Max will will race the wheels off it. And likely another championship.

This is the biggest impact event now for RedBull and for Formula 1. I doubt how Horner can come out of this. Reputation so much matters here . And for a team principal constantly facing the media and competing with other team principals, it will affect. This position is the team's public face.

There will be bearing on Red Bull. Only time will tell how much. Theories floating around
- With Horner exit, Adrian Newey will quit too.
- They plan to bring an Austrian executive from the parent company as team principal, this alienating the Operations lead at British Factory at Milton Keynes who is eyeing the post.

All said and done, it's a chink in Red Bulls invincible armour

When most teams went in the direction of RB, RB just did swaparoo and went in the direction of Merc!!

Jokes apart, they are still having a massive undercut below the side pod as compared to the zero-pod design of Mercedes.

The arch above the engine cover resembles last year's Mercedes.

Just with one more week to go for first race of the season, it is going to be quite entertaining to see how Mercedes would feel if RB are able to do better with Old Merc styled design!!
