Christian Horner has been in the spotlight in recent weeks due to allegations of inappropriate behavior made against him by a Red Bull employee. The ongoing investigation into this matter has seen new developments emerge daily. Despite Red Bull clearing Horner of all accusations, there was a data leak supposedly related to the case that reignited discussions on the subject. Horner believes that other people within the paddock may have taken advantage of the situation. He also suggests that the media played a significant role in sensationalizing the issue, with a particular focus on creating headlines. Unfortunately, Horner’s family, including his wife, was drawn into the case due to the serious nature of the accusations.
Furthermore, Horner claims that certain individuals exploited the situation, causing the investigation to garner more attention than it should have. He refers to this as the less favorable aspect of Formula 1 business. Red Bull kept the entire case confidential from other teams and personnel involved in the sport. This lack of transparency has led to suspicions and a demand for more information about the investigation.
Despite the challenges faced by Horner, Red Bull remains focused on their racing season. The team has developed a strong car and performed well in the season opener in Bahrain, accumulating a significant number of points. They are currently preparing for the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
