Marko defends Red Bull for taking its time with Horner investigation
Following complaints from a female employee, Christian Horner is under investigation by Red Bull’s Austrian energy drinks parent company for his behavior. Horner was recently interviewed by an independent barrister appointed to gather evidence of the unspecified allegations. Despite the investigation, Horner has continued his duties, attending events such as the shakedown of Red Bull’s new RB20 car. F1 officials urged Red Bull to expedite the investigation to avoid overshadowing the upcoming Bahrain race. While there is no official update on the progress, Red Bull has been commended for conducting a thorough investigation by Helmut Marko. Marko emphasized the importance of a fair inquiry rather than a rushed decision. Horner expressed gratitude for the team’s support during this challenging time and remains focused on the upcoming F1 season.
