Despite it being the only story in town in Formula 1 right now, very few people know what's really going on behind the scenes with Christian Horner at Red Bull.
One thing is sure though: this saga is far from over, and the ultimate end game may not become clear for quite some time yet. Ever since the controversy first blew up last month, there had been speculation that this stretched far beyond being an internal matter involving Horner and a female employee. From the off, there was talk of this being a wider power play that involved some of the key management pillars within the Red Bull organisation.
Indeed, it is understood that a number of top personnel – including chief technology officer Adrian Newey – have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if Horner is gone.
