Christian Horner (Red Bull) denies allegations of “inappropriate behavior”

According to RMC Sport, Horner rejected all the allegations against him. Horner initially responded to the international media, who were asked not to ask questions about the investigation.

“There was an inevitable diversion in the team, which remains very close-knit, with everyone focused on next season. Business continues. Obviously, there is an investigation that I respect and fully cooperate with. But everything happens in the background.

What if I intend to opt out while the investigation is ongoing? Procedures are ongoing there. Obviously, I completely deny the allegations against me. Of course, I am cooperating with this procedure, which I hope will be completed in the near future. The team is strong. He is the only one, and today is an important day because we are laying the foundation for next season.

We are a team, a group. The support from the shareholders has been phenomenal and we wouldn’t be here without that support. Max (Verstappen, with whom he is said to be in conflict – no) is very focused on his work, he was very understanding and I can’t wait to start the season with him. There will always be speculation, but we are together as a team, we always have been and we will continue to be” – Christian Horner for Sky Sports.

Horner was questioned by a “legal specialist outside Red Bull” last Friday, but a decision on his future at the team has yet to be announced.
