Wolff: F1 chiefs must “set the compass right” over Horner controversy
The Bahrain Grand Prix weekend in F1 was marked by the investigation of Red Bull’s Horner over allegations made by a female employee. Following a thorough investigation, Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing, but a new anonymous source sent evidence to FIA and F1 officials leading to further controversy. Jos Verstappen raised concerns about Horner’s impact on Red Bull, diverting attention from the start of the season and causing FIA president Ben Sulayem to admit it’s damaging for F1. While FIA maintains this is an internal matter for Red Bull, Mercedes’ Wolff believes it’s a broader issue that requires F1 as a whole to address and take action on equality and diversity. Wolff emphasizes the importance of governing bodies setting the right direction and hopes for a resolution that upholds the integrity and values of the sport.
