'Staff member accusing Horner gets new job'

According to The Daily Mail, the staff member who accused ex-Red Bull team principal Christian Horner of transgressive behaviour, is no longer with the Austrian team.

Reportedly, she has found a new job in the world of motorsport, but it is unknown whether it's within F1 or not.

Mercedes intends to sign Russell to multi-year deal

GPblog understands that the German team's intention is to sign George Russell to a multi-year contract.

This could mean that should Max Verstappen end up joining Mercedes in 2027, he could become the Briton's teammate in that season.

At the moment, neither Russell nor his teammate, Kimi Antonelli, has a contract extension signed with Mercedes for the upcoming season, when a new regulation change will come into effect.
