Formula 1 is optimistic that the investigation into allegations made against Christian Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull, can be concluded expeditiously. Horner is currently under scrutiny by Red Bull’s parent company following claims of inappropriate behavior towards a colleague. Despite refuting these accusations, Horner has been able to maintain his position at Red Bull while the investigation is ongoing. He recently participated in a hearing in London with an external barrister and has continued to fulfill his media obligations, including the introduction of Red Bull’s new car for the 2024 season. The timing of the resolution of this inquiry remains uncertain, but Formula 1 has expressed its desire for a prompt conclusion, particularly with the upcoming pre-season testing and the commencement of the 24-round campaign in Bahrain. Meanwhile, Ford, who is collaborating with Red Bull on the 2026 engine regulations, has emphasized the significance of upholding high standards of conduct from its partners.
