It’s been a controversial start to the United States Grand Prix weekend, and now Christian Horner has had his say.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has accused McLaren of “paranoia” and “moaning” over an issue he feels has been exaggerated. The controversy revolves around a ride-height adjustment system on the RB20, its secretive location in the footwell, and potential illegal use in parc fermé conditions. Horner argues that the team is following the rules and has nothing to hide, with the FIA approving the system. He believes the sealing of the component was triggered by complaints from rivals rather than any wrongdoing. Horner dismissed the issue as a distraction, emphasizing that the system has been publicly available for three years. The team has faced intense scrutiny and is confident in their compliance with regulations. “Our car has come under more scrutiny in the last three years than any other car in the pit lane, so we’re totally comfortable,” Horner affirmed.
