Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner “won’t comment on anonymous speculation” after materials implied to be from a recent investigation into him were sent to senior F1 figures and journalists
Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner is refraining from commenting on anonymous speculation following the recent investigation into him. He was cleared by Red Bull’s parent company, and an email containing investigative evidence was sent to 150 F1 personnel, excluding Red Bull and Red Bull Racing members. The veracity of the evidence, which includes messaging conversations, has not been confirmed yet. Horner, through a statement, refused to address the leak directly, reiterating that he has consistently denied the allegations and cooperated fully with the investigation. The leak has been perceived as an attempt to pressure or discredit Horner after the investigation favored him, prompting calls for more transparency from rival team bosses and others in the F1 community. Red Bull has chosen to keep the investigation report confidential and is focusing on maintaining high workplace standards. Although F1, the FIA, and Red Bull’s engine partner Ford have not provided comments, Red Bull GmbH may look into the leak further to uphold confidentiality regarding the investigation, as it is unclear whether the complainant will appeal Red Bull’s decision or seek legal recourse.
