Horner Bought Himself A Mercedes Factory Tour At A Charity Auction
Spying on the competition, you might have to be a bit more subtle than this! Taking trolling his rivals to a new level, Christian Horner has won a tour of the Mercedes factory. The Red Bull boss put in a cheeky £4,000 bid at a charity auction to land himself the 'money can't buy opportunity'...

Quite funny from Karen Horner.

Formula 1: FIA aware of new Michael Masi title-decider radio messages
The FIA says it knows about radio messages from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that have raised fresh questions about last year's title-decider.

Wonder how interesting this could get...
Max's title safe?..
It was bent that day and it will always be one of the worst decisions ever seen from someone who clearly was under RedBull orders.
Fwiw this information has always been out thereFormula 1: FIA aware of new Michael Masi title-decider radio messages

Quite, this seems to be rehashing for no real effect, and Damon Hill has told the excitable Tweeter as much.
Benson's last line was interesting (and he's usually a pretty dreadful writer):
"It is believed Masi took the decisions he did because he was trying to accede to an agreement made with the teams that races should not finish under the safety car if at all possible."
I hadn't heard of that agreement before now.
The radio transmissions are not new - they were on a video released by Formula 1 on 16 December, four days after the race - but the one from Wheatley appears to have missed general circulation in the storm that followed

That last line has been around for a long time too. I don’t think anyone has disagreed with that sentiment, it’s his actions before he released the safety car that’s the issue. If he wanted to not finish under safety car, then he needed to leave all cars as they were, not allow the three through that he did.
Unless I'm missing something I believe it is on the radio video released on YouTube back in December
Not according to the BBC.
I'm going to look up the video later, but I'm gambling that the BBC are wrong

At about 1:50 in the video below the same exchange can be heard. The video was published on Dec 16th

If you click on that tweet and read the comments both Damon Hill and Will Buxton have made the point that it isn't new footage. Not exactly a smoking gun as such but it still doesn't sound great.

It came out the day after Mercedes’ appeal was thrown out which was convenient. Nothing will come of it now, they got the ending they wanted.

And also on the day Red Bull revealed their car!
It looks to be all from one of the Twitterati Mercedes fan, and that one tweet has been picked up by lots of others. The idea that no-one in the Mercedes legal team had noticed it is laughable.

It’s going to be a big year for Lando. He really matured as a driver last year and think he kick on even more this season
