Christian Horner may face difficulties if the leaked evidence proves to be true. The Red Bull Team Principal, Christian Horner, has been cleared of any allegations related to the investigation. However, Horner has chosen not to provide any further comments on the investigation. The investigation report has not been made public by Red Bull in order to maintain privacy. Despite this, Whatsapp conversations and images between the victim and offender have been leaked to journalists and individuals in the F1 community by an anonymous source. Horner has publicly denounced these leaks and stated that he will not comment on speculations, reiterating his previous denial of the claims. He has also expressed his respect for the team’s integrity and their independent investigation. Horner asserts that the investigation was fair and thorough, dismissing any future complaints as invalid and untrue. However, if Horner is found guilty after Red Bull’s statement, it could jeopardize the credibility of the investigation and the team’s support for their principal.
Despite incriminating evidence against him, Horner has escaped any consequences in this saga. Red Bull had potential replacements ready in case Horner was found guilty. However, with the conclusion of the investigation and the team’s support for Horner, he will continue to lead the team in the 2024 Formula 1 season. Horner has been the team principal since the team’s establishment in 2005 and is expected to continue in this role for years to come. The drivers of the team appear unaffected by these developments and are expected to continue the season as planned, regardless of the issues surrounding Horner.
Red Bull has once again developed a strong contender for the season. Although the team did not lead in the practice sessions, they are prepared for the qualifying session. Several teams have already accepted that Milton Keynes is likely to dominate the 2024 campaign.
