    I personally love how much Zak gets under Horner’s skin, and I agree with him here. Let’s be honest: F1 is as much about the soap opera as it is about the racing - if not more. We need our heroes and villains, and Horner is a fantastic antagonist who is so easy and enjoyable to root against.

      Yup he’s a cunt alright. What happened to the sexual harassment allegations from last year? Red Bull just seemed to make that young girl go away.

        We may find out next year, if the schedule for the case to be in front of a judge does not change for whatever mysterious reason.

    Addressing the situation with the Red Bull boss, the McLaren CEO felt the animosity was a good thing.

    "Oh, it’s genuine,” Brown explained to The Telegraph his supposed feud with Horner.

    "There’s no love lost there. I don’t like how he rolls and no doubt he feels the same about me.

    "But I think it’s good for the sport.

    "You need different characters. You need these rivalries. Some are friendly, sporting rivalries.

    “Some are a bit more vicious. It’s always been like that.”
