The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claims to know about a £650K proposal. OK, it's an established newspaper so we may assume that they did their homework properly prior to posting this. But did other sources confirm this claim, independently from De Telegraaf ?

If legit: we cannot beat around the bush, £650K is lavish. But that ain't as such "incriminating enough" / "a sign of guilt". We don't know what the employee earned, her seniority, bonuses, perks, prospects, access to confidential RBR and Horner info and materials. So it could be a redundancy fee package proposal to compensate dismissal, to ensure confidentiality about RBR and Horner business secrets, to ensure not to move to another F1 team (non-competition), moral distress resulting from leaving the globetrotting F1 community, losing lots of social media traffic as no new F1 content is posted anymore, etc. Also: maybe other RBR employees stood up for the employee, insisting that she would get properly compensated for all her hard work and availability ?

Anyways, according to the Dutch newspaper, the female employee has rejected the alleged offer.
