Christian Horner found himself in a precarious situation due to an investigation into inappropriate conduct. The Red Bull group has now declared Horner innocent, bringing an end to the controversy. However, McLaren’s CEO, Zak Brown, is dissatisfied with the lack of transparency surrounding the investigation.
Brown firmly believes that Red Bull should have been open and honest throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, rumors circulated about the investigation, but Red Bull chose not to address them. Brown has criticized their handling of the situation, expressing his frustration in a recent interview.
In light of the seriousness of the matter, Brown has called upon the FIA, the governing body of the sport, to intervene and take control. While Brown has been vocal in his criticism of Red Bull, Horner himself has other concerns moving forward.
Throughout the investigation, Horner maintained his innocence, vehemently denying the accusations against him. However, his focus now shifts to the upcoming Bahrain GP qualifying session. During yesterday’s practice sessions, both Horner and the Red Bull team struggled to perform well.
Some speculated that the team was intentionally underperforming, but if that is not the case, Horner and his team will face a difficult challenge. The FP3 session today will be crucial for the Red Bull F1 team as they strive to improve their performance.
