Christian Horner may face difficulties if the leaked evidence proves to be true. The Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, has been cleared of any charges related to the investigation. However, Horner has chosen not to provide any further comments on the investigation. The investigation report has not been publicly released by Red Bull to maintain privacy. Nevertheless, conversations and images from Whatsapp between the victim and the offender have been leaked to journalists and members of the F1 community by an anonymous source. Horner has publicly denounced these leaks and stated that he will not comment on speculations, reiterating his previous denial of the charges. He has also expressed his respect for the team’s integrity and the independent investigation. Horner claims that the investigation was fair and thorough, dismissing any future claims as invalid and false. However, if Horner is found guilty after Red Bull’s statement, it could harm the credibility of the investigation and the team’s support for its director.
Despite the incriminating evidence against him, Horner has escaped any consequences in this saga. Red Bull had potential replacements ready in case Horner was found guilty. However, with the conclusion of the investigation and the team’s support for Horner, he will continue to lead the team in the 2024 Formula 1 season. Horner has been the team principal since its foundation in 2005, and it is expected that he will continue in this position in the coming years. The team’s drivers appear to have not been affected by these events, and it is expected that they will continue the season as planned, regardless of the issues involving Horner.
Red Bull has once again developed a strong contender for the season. Although the team has not led in the practice sessions, they are prepared for the qualifying session. Several teams have already accepted that Milton Keynes will likely dominate the 2024 campaign.
