"Horner takes Perez out for dinner"

His last supper at RedBulls expense, hopefully it's not in their catering department and he learned his lesson and actually takes him to a restaurant across the road.

The rumour mill is going CRAZY today folks hahahaha love it.

If I was hiring drivers my contact would forbid dangerous activities like skiing and motorcycles

Yes, Max's contract forbids him from dangerous sports, as he himself confirmed.

Joey P 02 February 2024 at 16:32+ 3105

Yet, I have seen several confirmations that he went skiing, regardless. Goes for several F1 drivers, to be fair.

I can't imagine they don't consider that to be a dangerous sport..

Yes, Max said he hasn't gone skiing for the last 5 years due to that clause.

Like you, I thought I saw him and family on a skiing holiday recently. Now, whether he actually skied or just took pictures, I have no idea.

Skiing in itself is not overly dangerous in comparison to many sports. People fail to realise that Schumacher decided to go off piste to non defined ski routes which expert skiers use when he had his accident.

True, Skiing is not something i fancy trying any time soon. I prefer my sports to contain wheels or wings

It's not because they might die in a freak accident it's the more likely risk of a broken leg or arm or wrist or ankle which wrecks their season

Joey P 02 February 2024 at 17:50+ 3105

Apparently. I looked up the 15 sports with the most casualties, and skiing is, indeed, not one of them.

I've actually done some of the ones that are on the list, but I personally found skying one of the scariest. Must be personal experience, then XD

Although I wouldn't necessarily trust someone that regularly drives a car over 300km/h to keep things safe and easy in any sport that revolves around speed...

Every driver celebrating their well earned break in different ways before the next long year starts again in 2 months time.
