The FIA’s own social media lit a fuse on Wednesday when it posted a picture of Christian Horner huddled with President Mohammed Ben Sulayem at the governing body’s Paris headquarters. Since his shock departure from Red Bull following last summer’s British GP, the paddock’s most polarizing figure has been a ghost – until now. Against that backdrop, a visit to the FIA’s inner sanctum was always going to raise eyebrows. Still, timing is everything in Formula 1 – and the image feels anything but accidental. But in this sport, even a handshake can spark a storm.
