Will Red Bull Racing reveal their decision from the investigation into Christian Horner’s alleged misdemeanours at Formula 1’s opening race in Bahrain? What’s your take, will Horner continue in his role at the World Champion team or will he be asked to go? Of course, any off-track story of such a nature will take attention from Red Bull Racing’s RB20, if it continues to dominate Formula 1. But can it, will it? The narratives at the start of the season could well be different from the middle and the end of the long Formula 1 season. In fact, the pecking order itself might be different in Ba ..read more
