The Red Bull advisor has spoken out about the investigation into Christian Horner. Helmut Marko and Christian Horner, the team principal, have been under scrutiny by the parent company for the past few weeks. The leader has been accused of inappropriate behavior with a colleague and an investigation is currently ongoing. Now, Marko has addressed the concerns and praised Red Bull for their handling of the situation.
Red Bull Austria initiated an inquiry in response to a complaint against their F1 team principal. The company hired an external attorney to conduct a fair investigation and provide a verdict in a timely manner. Horner was recently questioned for several hours last week, leading to speculation about his future with the team. The 80-year-old has defended the team and commended them for taking swift action.
The Austrian is known for his strong language against various F1 personnel, but he has diplomatically addressed the issue involving his colleague. The investigations against the 50-year-old have escalated to the point where the complainant may seek resolution in a British court. The team aims to conclude the investigation as quickly as possible to protect the brand’s reputation from further harm.
Horner made his first public appearance at the RB20 launch in Milton Keynes. The Briton was joined by key members and drivers, including Max Verstappen. The Dutchman shared his thoughts on the investigation against his boss during the RB20’s launch.
The reigning champion stated that there are no conflicts between him and Horner despite the speculations. The 26-year-old believes that the investigation is ongoing and a verdict will be announced soon.
Now, the three-time champion prepares himself for the upcoming season. Verstappen is fully focused on giving his best performance in the upcoming season. The Dutchman set multiple records last year and aims to add more trophies to his collection this season.
