Red Bull’s partner and future engine supplier Ford has released a statement regarding the investigation into allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ against Christian Horner. The Red Bull boss was grilled by an independent lawyer last week as part of the investigation and publicly addressed the allegations at the team’s car launch on Thursday.
And that’s why they’ve got an independent investigation and until we see what truth comes out of that, it’s too early for us to comment on it all.” Meanwhile, Horner completely denies allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ and says that it’s ‘business as normal’ as he prepares for the new F1 season.
Speaking at the Red Bull car launch this week Horner came out swinging and refused to quit from his role as team principal. He said: “Well I think it’s been very clear and the position of Red Bull has been that it’s business as normal. Of course, the allegations is a process that Red Bull are running through and have confirmed that process externally, but obviously there’s a job to do and I deny fully the accusations that have been made, and my role obviously continues.
I’m confident in the process and working with the process. I deny absolutely any allegation that has been made against me and yeah, you know it’s… I just continue to work within that process until it’s concluded.”
