Well that’s one point of view.

So why do you leave a business where you have worked for two decades and otherwise cemented a strong reputation to 'bum out' when you still enjoy working and don't otherwise need to work? Christian Horner is in damage limitation mode. He knows Adrian is something of a gent and does not choose to become embroiled in acrimony and so he is now posturing to fill this vacuum with his own spin. The truth is that Horner has increasingly turned out as something of an embarrassment. Aside from Newey then have we seen or heard from Helmut Marko or Jos Verstappen at any of the recent races or is Horner now something of a 'one man show'?
