Helmut Marko: Red Bull senior figure will not be suspended after talks with shareholder Oliver Mintzlaff
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko will remain in his role as a motorsport advisor after he alluded to the possibility of being suspended by the company following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix; Max Verstappen had said his future depends on Marko staying at the team
And this is probably THE most specific anyone has ever done regarding Marko's overall position:
So he's basically employed Moreso by Red Bell GmbH then Red Bull Racing themselves.

Read that Marko will be going with Oliver Mintzlaff to Dubai to meet with Yoovidhya as well. Wonder if the Austrian side of RB took Max's words seriously & will be going with Marko to see how much the Yoovidhya wants Horner to stay. Just a theory of course, but it seems a bit hard to believe things have settled down when it's been the Austrians behind Max & Marko & the Thai behind Horner.

But he is literally a director of Red Bull Racing. It has two of them: Marko and Horner:Helmut Marko: Red Bull senior figure will not be suspended after talks with shareholder Oliver Mintzlaff

Translation:
German media, F1-Insider and Motorsport-Total, reported on Sunday that Red Bull's Thai major shareholder may now have changed his mind and would like to fire Christian Horner. 1/2
Follow-Up: Red Bull Racing spokesperson response: "As Christian has said, he is grateful for the full support of the shareholders and that remains the case."

Just get everyone together and call a cease fire. Tell everyone to shut up. The team is super successful right now and this could tear it apart. Losing Verstappen would really hurt and Marko is 80 years old. They don’t need to lose Horner either as they’re moving to make their own engines.

Unfortunately, it appears to be a power struggle. Marko has said he decides when he leaves & there's speculation Horner is looking to be like Toto & have a financial stake in the team with the help of the Thai investor & British backers. Supposedly, this was done without Marko & the Austrians' knowledge, and why we may have the current rift going on.

I missed the RB17 news from RBR...
now I could be a bit cynical, but does anyone else reckon they have spend many tens of millions over the last few years on this project that "distills everything we know about creating championship-winning Formula One cars into a package"...
Meanwhile Milton Keyes residents are like "Wow the Red Bull wind tunnel is going again, they must have some extra wind tunnel time"...
RBR Aero engineers "Nah this is even more data analysis for distilling knowledge about championship winning cars for our RB17 project"

Mercedes also unveiled the AMG project one f1 inspired hypercar during their domination. Makes sense to try and sell a super exclusive and expensive car to billionaires in Dubai or whatever.

Turns out that there's no limit on wind tunnel testing time for cooling purposes, so long as direct force measurements aren't taken.

Not really sure where to post this, but for subscribers to Sky Sports F1, keep an eye on your app this weekend.
Starting in about 6 hours from now, the Adelaide Motorsport Festival is going to be streamed live… and I’m helping to broadcast it
The event is huge. Car wise, think Mazda 767B, Porsche 962, race winning F1 cars, many Bathurst winners and any supercar worth talking about.
People wise, it’s arguably even bigger. Bottas, Lawson, Gunther Steiner, Damon Hill and David Croft are joined by Aussies like Craig Lowndes, Jack Perkins and James Courtney.
I’ll be working a camera and helping behind the scenes throughout the 2 day event. If plans go well i’m going to be a part of some super exciting stuff!
People from countries without Sky Sports F1 should be able to stream directly from the Adelaide Motorsport Festival Facebook page. I’ll be sure to snap some pics over the weekend for this thread

Horner's accuser hired a new lawyer & is appealing the decision made by Red Bull. I'd honestly be shocked if Red Bull manages to keep everyone in the company year's end; there feels like way too much bad blood & bridges burned going on.
Translation:
A lot of discussions were held within Red Bull (Racing) last week to calm things down, with 22 races still to go. The employee who accused team boss Horner has now decided to appeal.

Unfortunately no sign of bright Orange froggy hats (I was keeping an eye out!) but a really great weekend overall.
I was working with my friend Dylan (in orange above) and Supercars presenter Jack Perkins for the 2 day event. We had a pretty packed schedule and we filmed 20-30 interviews. Some cool ones were with James Courtney, Valtteri Bottas (above), Damon Hill and my personal favourite, Hashino-San, the owner of the Mazda 767B.
I was in charge of the camera for this one and when the Japanese gentleman started making car noises it was a really fun moment. Such pure car passion that brought joy to everyone around.
(Me going through the schedule with Jack)
Not many people get to do stuff like this and I’m thankful to the guys that makes the technical stuff happen. We’re a team of 11 amateurs with day jobs who do livestreams as a hobby, but there is a crazy amount of work and gear that goes on behind the scenes.
(Craig Lowndes in the FXX)
The event was brilliant and I’m already excited for next year. If you’re coming to Aus for the GP next year, come a week early and experience the Adelaide Motorsport Festival

At least spreadsheets are a proven method dependent on the data entered into them by people. Imagine what a car designed using generative AI will end up like.... and I say "will" because there's a very real chance someone is going to try employing it in some capacity within the next couple years.

Interestingly, asking it to generate a 2024 car seemed to give 2021 regs. That said, they nailed the Carbon Fibre crap livery
