   I don't know, I recall seeing him not long after DC retired. DC   
   was doing a piece to camera and Horner made sure to get in frame   
   before blowing a raspberry at him - this was early morning on race   
   day.  DC didn't skip a beat.  Horner was assuming it was a pre-prepared   
   piece to camera and wondering why he hadn't responded immediately.   
      
   It became clear a few seconds later when DC shoved the microphone   
   in his direction. "Christian Horner, head of Red Bull, we're LIVE   
   on the BBC news channel..." and proceeded with an ad hoc mini-interview.   
      
   The look on his face was priceless...   
      
   As for the allegations I don't know, neither do you and speculation   
   will probably do more harm than good.  I've always tried to avoid   
   having staff under me (more trouble than they're worth) but have   
   had to instruct more junior staff in the past as part of what I   
   was doing.  It does depend on the individual, sometimes it's   
   listening to concerns and explaining why it is you want things done   
   in a particular way.  Other people will object as a matter of habit   
   and I've used the metaphorical big stick, "THIS is what I want you   
   do and THAT is how you are going do it."
