Christian Horner remains silent on his case: “I am not authorized to comment”
Christian Horner was seen wearing civilian clothing on the first day of winter testing, but finally appeared at the press conference on Thursday in his official uniform. When asked about the investigation against him, the Red Bull team manager declined to comment.
Always followed by an investigation against him, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner took part in his first public press conference in Bahrain during the second day of winter testing.
Obviously questioned about this extracurricular issue, which concerns the whole Formula 1 according to Toto Wolff, Christian Horner stated he hopes the investigation will be resolved as soon as possible, as the 2024 Formula 1 season starts in a week.
As a reminder, the brand Red Bull announced on February 5th that it was investigating allegations of misconduct by Christian Horner towards a team employee. Horner denies any wrongdoing and continues to work, but no information on a potential conclusion date for the investigation has been made public.
(E) Everyone would like a conclusion as soon as possible, but I am really not permitted to comment on the process, Christian Horner swiftly dismissed the subject in a press conference.
Formula 1 and the FIA have previously issued statements urging Red Bull for a swift resolution to the investigation.
The General Manager of McLaren, Zak Brown, said on Thursday that he hoped the investigation would be handled very transparently, following a similar call for transparency the day before from Toto Wolff, Team Principal of Mercedes.
