"According to information from auto motor und sport, a survey of those involved will take place in England on Friday. If the external investigators come to the conclusion that the compliance allegations make continued employment impossible, Red Bull will have to look for a new team boss at short notice. With Mattia Binotto, Otmar Szafnauer and Günther Steiner, several prominent candidates with a team boss past are currently available on the market."

sooo the person didnt like that horner was strict about something their trip and complained about it?
Sources say the investigation is set to centre on a female employee’s concerns about Horner’s strict work regime and does not relate to any sexual impropriety.
An F1 source told The Sun: “Christian had concerns about her conduct and made it clear he was unhappy.
“She went on to make a complaint about his ‘controlling’ behaviour, which detonated this crisis for the team.”

Used to love it on cars years back, but now it's every car
I fully expect Aston, Merc and McLaren to also be full carbon with different colours accents
Probably only Ferrari and red bull staying with full colour liveries

its the way its going to be the cars are big and heavy which is partly because of safety so removing paint saves small amounts of weight
