I just threw up in my mouth a little at the thought of Ocon in a Mercedes.

$100m a year salary apparently. Nearly double his Mercedes salary and $30m more than Verstappen.

Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner is under investigation after a complaint was made against him, the company said on Monday.

Red Bull said it took the allegations "extremely seriously" and has started an investigation.

Horner, 50, oversaw Red Bull's record-breaking 2023 season in which the team won 21 of 22 races as Max Verstappen secured his third world title.

Horner says he "completely denies" the allegations.

"After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation," Red Bull said in a statement.

"This process, which is already under way, is being carried out by an external specialist barrister. The company takes these matters extremely seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time."

Asked about the allegations by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, external, Horner said: "I completely deny these claims."

Horner has been Red Bull team principal since they first started on the F1 grid in 2005 and has gone on to win seven drivers' championships and six constructors' championships with the team.

Exactly what I thought on the Sauber livery. So many teams use black as a key colour on their livery nowadays.

Also, is the media and everyone going to call them Sauber or actually refer to them as Stake F1? I hope it's the former.

Everywhere I've seen is calling them Sauber, and the Visa CashApps are just referred to as RB. Hopefully the media refusing to co-operate with these sponsor-based names will lower the interest in doing it.

The alleged issue with Horner, which is completely unconfirmed and only from a Dutch newspaper, is that he sent unsolicited pictures to a female employee, who went straight to Red Bull HQ to report him. He is denying all allegations.

So far from a colour standpoint we have:

McLaren - Mainly black/ bits of Orange

Haas - Mainly black/ bits of Red

Williams - Black/Blue

Sauber - Black/Green

Alpine -  Mainly black/bits of light blue and pink

 

I know I've been mocked for being annoyed by this before, but everything being carbon fibre coloured is so dull.
