As The Wrench Turns, Part Deux

 So the other day the Blob harrumphed at some length about the ongoing soap opera that is Formula One racing, in particular Formula One racing at its current dominant team, Red Bull.

Well, here's some exciting news, sportsball fans: There's a new episode out now!

In this chapter Red Bull, having "investigated' a female employee's allegations that team principal Christian Horner was sexually harassing her, not only cleared him but -- on the day before International Women's Day, no less -- decided to suspend his accuser for accusing him. 

Or, in so many words: How dare you accuse Christian, you lying trollope! You're suspended. backstabbing witch! Don't ever say anything about him again! And that goes for you, too, other women employees! Stay in your lane! Know and appreciate your place!

Ay-yi-yi. Do these people not have a public relations staff? Have they never heard of the concept of optics? And what does Max Verstappen think of all this?

Mercedes must be looking better and better to him.

To mention another rumor that's being floated by the drooling European media, busily stoking (inventing?) all the drama they can. They didn't particularly need any more help, but, gee, thanks, guys!

Stay tuned for our next episode.
