After the 2024 season’s opening two race weekends in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, F1’s 20 drivers – and Oliver Bearman – are away from the track across the next couple of days. But preparations for next week’s Australian Grand Prix will be in full flow, and there hasn’t been a shortage of non-racing talking points so far this year.
An update on the Christian Horner saga has emerged overnight, with his accuser believed to have launched an appeal to the outcome of Red Bull’s investigation.
A female colleague accused Horner of inappropriate behaviour, which he strenuously denied. After a review, Red Bull dismissed the claims.

Meanwhile, Ferrari have made a difficult decision on Lewis Hamilton ahead of his blockbuster switch from Mercedes next year.
Hamilton looks set to have to go without his race engineer and friend Peter Bonnington due to a clause in his contract.
