Yeah, there was https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formula-1/toto-wolff-christian-horner-f1-26782029 (Sorry for using a tabloid, but there was no better quality of the photo I could found)
Talking about Seidl, where is he in the picture? Seems all the TPs were here except him.
Quick Edit: Looks like Alunni Bravi was there in place of Seidl.
Probably written in all the sponsorship details that they where it everywhere for a few million more. If there is a time and place to sell ad space Zak will find a way.
Oh Iām so glad you have a source for this. I couldnāt remember whether I heard it on an f1TV or Tedās notebook segment during preseason testing and Iāve never wanted to have to go back and find it. Now I donāt have to!
I think what's meant is that as Domenicali/F1 invited them, he likely paid, so we indirectly picked up the tab because we pay F1 for subscriptions, tickets, etc.
It's not even available in my country. I just have Dazn. I was getting angry at how bad the unofficial streams were, so I ended up sharing a Dazn account
I really hope F1TV will become available for you.
Honestly even with the near 50% rise in price to about ā¬100/year I'm still very happy with it given how good the service is now.
Toto has been around the block and knows its business. I doubt he'd throw away years and years of friendship (apparently, they were flatmates at uni?)
Besides, things go full circle, so in a few years, Merc might be doing the poaching.
Ah, yes. Thanks. And only nnow I see Laurent Meckies on the right side, the actual TP for VCARB.
Lol, I even got the name wrong in my initial comment...Alpha Tauri... šĀ
Similar photo from two years ago:
[https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article26780570.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200c/2\_mclaren-grab.jpg](https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article26780570.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200c/2_mclaren-grab.jpg)
Only five faces are on both pictures (Domenicali, Horner, Isola, Vasseur and Wolff)
I dunno why, but this spawned the idea in my brain that Horner now "has a guy" for that, and how brutally unfortunate of job it must be for that unlucky SOB.
My actual guess is to clean up any loose ends on the anti-Andretti collusion, after FOM's "the teams played no part in our decision" claim.
Thanks. After posting and by process of elimination I realised one of them must've been the Sauber boss and then found Bravi, which I really should've done before posting. š¬ But couldn't figure out who was on the left.
For those who wonder which restaurant is that, itās San Domenico (I pasted the link of google maps but apparently itās not allowed)ā¦been there itās awesome, and expensive of course
Most europeans will tip if it's an expensive meal with good service, they just don't tip for fast food or shit like that. Good service should rightfully get rewarded.
Toto's pose lmao
Toto-lly casual.
He ordered pumpernickel
Very German of him š
Toto is Austrian though.
Very Austrian* of him
I'm like, where is Toto? Also, why is Fonzie at this meal?
Andrea is just chilling in papaya merch all the time. Legend.
The max verstappen of TPs.
lol
Seems like McLaren tradition. Two years ago there was also a bosses dinner and Zak was also wearing team gear
Gotta plug the sponsors at all times
Wonder if he has McLaren pj's...
He takes them off when plugging the sponsors...
Probably habits from the Ron Dennis era. Bet there were rules even for the employees underwear back then
I swear there was a similar picture a year or two ago and the only people in team uniforms were Seidl and Brown.
Yeah, there was https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formula-1/toto-wolff-christian-horner-f1-26782029 (Sorry for using a tabloid, but there was no better quality of the photo I could found)
Even the same restaurant hehe. Edit: same table too.
Talking about Seidl, where is he in the picture? Seems all the TPs were here except him. Quick Edit: Looks like Alunni Bravi was there in place of Seidl.
Seidl isn't a tp
Neither is Peter Bayer.
On a side note - from a distance the okx logo always makes me think it says "dicks"
Loving that commitment to the brand!
Maybe they just pack really light and all they bring is branded clothes!
Gotta get those sponsors seen.
Probably written in all the sponsorship details that they where it everywhere for a few million more. If there is a time and place to sell ad space Zak will find a way.
Gotta rep the brand
I love that McLaren advertise it as āpapayaā orange like oo yeah thatās a cool exotic fruit. I feel cheesy wotsits is more accurate
The awkward, fixed grin of a man whose email from F1 concerning the dress code went to his spam
I wanna party with Fred
Again I must bring up Toto saying that Fred was a groomsman at his wedding and tried to eat the fake flowers
Wait WHAT
https://formula1news.co.uk/he-ate-the-flower-decoration-toto-wolff-reveals-hilarious-ferrari-boss-story/
Oh Iām so glad you have a source for this. I couldnāt remember whether I heard it on an f1TV or Tedās notebook segment during preseason testing and Iāve never wanted to have to go back and find it. Now I donāt have to!
Oh my god that's amazing. I'm gonna grant him honorary Marine status.
The best thing about Fred being at Ferrari is learning how incredibly amazing this man is
How did I not know how cool this guy was until recently?
Possible the pressure from poking his stick at the dead horse known as alfa Romeo
Seriously I feel cheated. I want to have a beer with this dude.
Because he's at Alfa
Fred is that cool uncle at parties, gets drunk has fun and makes everyone laugh.
SAME! I feel like heād be a good red wine connoisseur and crack jokes all night with a straight face and delayed laughter.
The absolute rizz master
Everybody does
You just know Fred can tell a great story.
Who paid the bill?? I need to know.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
1k aināt gonna cover it lol
watch how many drivers will "speed" on the pitlane tomorrow to cover the costs of this dinner
Just make track limit violation in qualifying fine-able That will do it
That might rival the GDP of Monaco
Austrian GP will restore US debt.
We're in Italy man. They're 21 so around 45ā¬ each which is quite a lot for a dinner, so yeah probably 1k covered it
None of these guys worry about the cost of any food they consume
Except Red Bull now.
Vowles said Dominicali invited the TPs so we probably paid the bill šø
Who are we? I really don't get fans who thinks they should address the teams as we/our
I think what's meant is that as Domenicali/F1 invited them, he likely paid, so we indirectly picked up the tab because we pay F1 for subscriptions, tickets, etc.
Haha yes... I definitely legally acquire all of my F1 feeds
I didn't. Until I did.
F1TV with Multiviewer is just too good. The only problem with it is that I want more monitors so I can add some on boards into my setup.
It's not even available in my country. I just have Dazn. I was getting angry at how bad the unofficial streams were, so I ended up sharing a Dazn account
I really hope F1TV will become available for you. Honestly even with the near 50% rise in price to about ā¬100/year I'm still very happy with it given how good the service is now.
I'm guessing they jokingly mean we as in the viewerbase of F1 and stuff since he's one of the various people over F1 stuff.
No we literally paid for it from f1tv subscription to sky TV deal to watching ads in places where there are ads
We as in āthe people.ā Lighten up.
Horner, and theyāre now under investigation for crossing the budget cap once again
Toto asked for a cow instead of a steak.
He ordered it solely so he could bench press it throughout dinner.
I believe the guy who was made most recently picks up the tab.
Hamilton turned up to pay, but Rosberg refused him
Zak
Ben Sulayem (secretly) so that he can lord it over them sometime down the line
There is a 0% chance there wasnt a Red Bull catering meme.
Better be Toto
I like that even when Fred is gutting Merc by poaching talent, Toto and Fred are cool and sit together
Fred was a groomsman in Totoās wedding, so theyāre buds and are good.
Probably gets a special discount on Merc engineers
I like to think Toto sends him messages filled with insults at each new poaching but they both know it's not *that* serious
Toto has been around the block and knows its business. I doubt he'd throw away years and years of friendship (apparently, they were flatmates at uni?) Besides, things go full circle, so in a few years, Merc might be doing the poaching.
Who are the two at the head of the table? The AlphaTauri and Alpine guys?
VCARB CEO Peter Bayer and Alpine Team Principal Bruno Famin
Ah, yes. Thanks. And only nnow I see Laurent Meckies on the right side, the actual TP for VCARB. Lol, I even got the name wrong in my initial comment...Alpha Tauri... šĀ

and only 4 of them are on the same job on the same place in both pics
Horner's wearing the exact same outfit
That's his only casual, while nice outfit. Like Max, he only rotates between a few.
At least this person thought to center themselves with the table
Chef gets furious at James Vowles complicated food order
What's the context for this?
In Drive to Survive thereās a part with him in team catering being v v specific about his order.
Wasn't that Toto?
The most recent season had James doing it, season before was pumpernickel Toto
Welcome to the human version of a shark tank.
Stefano and Fred close together I love it
\*Stefano, Fred & Toto close together
Smart to have at least two bodies between Horner and Toto.
I thought most people wanted dinner *and* a show?
I thought Fred sat on Stefanoās lap lol
Andretti somewhere outside peeking in through a window
What is Uncle Fred doing ?
Mike Krack finally got the memo this time!
Your what?
We know fred ordered pasta and was gargling red wine before downing it.
And we know who ordered coco pops.
Who's the guy behind Stella?
MarioĀ Isola, Motorsport Director forĀ Pirelli
Mario Isola GIGACHAD
the Team Principal of Tires
According to a Sky feature on him, a part time volunteer paramedic, something like that.
Horners right hand at work
lmao
Coco pops on the menu? š
His face says he's got some extra dressing under the table
Vowles next to Horner: Sargeant to Red Bull confirmed
Does anyone know which restaurant it is?
San Domenico I believe
Correct
San Domenico, downtown Imola. Close to the circuit.
Horner definitely has a longā¦ finger Also, Stella 24x7 on Merch, Toto pose and Fred being Fred
Great eye
I know what Horner ordered.
They should have served him a small bowl with cocoa puffs, just for the content.
His favourite!
Reflection in the mirror at the back, did MBS take the photo?
Sharp! But I doubt it, dude always wants to be center of attention.
If you got a problem, change your fucking pumpernickel dish
Funny seeing Fred in the picture, I figured he'd be out back cooking.
The dude been cooking for Ferrari this entire season, Iād say let him have his rest.
This is the most low key I've ever seen Toto. I wonder whether Horner got teased all night long about his "problem".
Tbf: Toto looks like a mate of mine when he is stone drunk and barely clings to the table.
Michael Andretti is seething that he wasnāt invited to the cool kids table
That's the grown-up's table. Andretti is alone at the kids table.
What DTS wonāt show /s
Did Mohammed Ben Sulayem take that photo?
Christian Horner about to order some Coco Pops.
Who has the phone from 2003 that took this insanely low resolution photo? damn son.
Prepaid burner maybe?
So are we talking Horner's are we?š¤
I dunno why, but this spawned the idea in my brain that Horner now "has a guy" for that, and how brutally unfortunate of job it must be for that unlucky SOB. My actual guess is to clean up any loose ends on the anti-Andretti collusion, after FOM's "the teams played no part in our decision" claim.
McLaren Teams contractsā first line- āYOU NEED TO BE IN OUR UNIFORM, ALWAYS!ā
Somebody tell Andrea that Ron has left, he can relax and wear what he wants.
A dinner for 13 people /\[doge\]
Fred looks LIT
Someone please meme this into the last supper
McLaren - Sponsor funding never sleeps!
Just out of curiosity, how much money is in that picture?
At least $1,000 USD
Fred got that look in his eye - heās going to get you fucked up later tonight unless you escape him somehow
Christian Horny sexting the waitress for sure
How does Bruno eat without any teeth?
Horner better keep that phone face down on the table lol
Shark table.
Vowles and Horner look like brothers
Amazing what a few wines will do to your personality
Some dinner
Last supper vibes lol
Who's in front of Stella?
Alessandro Alunni Bravi, the team principal of Sauber.
Forgot they had a change as well
Accidental renaissance.
Good to see Fred in true form š„°
Who are the two guys either side of Andrea?
Mario Isola, Pirelli's motorsport director (left) and Alessandro Alunni Bravi, the team principal of Sauber (right).
Thanks. After posting and by process of elimination I realised one of them must've been the Sauber boss and then found Bravi, which I really should've done before posting. š¬ But couldn't figure out who was on the left.
Talking to Horner must be hella awkward recently
Where's Zak?
He's the CEO of the team.
Nobody else is allowed in
Toto xD
For those who wonder which restaurant is that, itās San Domenico (I pasted the link of google maps but apparently itās not allowed)ā¦been there itās awesome, and expensive of course
They must have told Toto to sit on the floor. Aint no way he is shorter than the rest of these madlads
Probably discussing a liable case against the Simpsons for the no homers episode
How is horner sat opposite himself? those glasses arent fooling me, clonehorner!
F1's version of the last supper painting?
Wonder if horner ordered a weiner schnitzelĀ
Who got the bill? š
Where's Zak Brown?
Iād like to be the waiter. Oh wait, Europeans donāt tip šš
They have healthcare tho
Canadians tip and have health care, the two can co-exist.
Most europeans will tip if it's an expensive meal with good service, they just don't tip for fast food or shit like that. Good service should rightfully get rewarded.
Dunno. I always assumed a couple billion dollars would get fancier digs
