Christian Horner Addresses Red Bull’s Recent Challenges Amid FIA Scrutiny……. read more
Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has issued a statement addressing recent challenges faced by the team, including internal struggles and external scrutiny from the FIA.
In his statement, Horner acknowledged the difficulties encountered by both drivers and the technical team. He emphasized the importance of unity and resilience within the team, stating that such challenges are part of the competitive nature of Formula 1. Horner reaffirmed Red Bull’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and performance.
The FIA’s recent actions have added to the team’s challenges. The governing body is currently investigating allegations concerning the ride-height device on the RB20, which some rival teams suspect could provide an unfair advantage during restricted ‘parc ferme’ conditions. However, the FIA has not provided conclusive evidence to support these claims, and Red Bull maintains that the device has been a standard feature for over three years and is not accessible for adjustment during race weekends.
Additionally, there have been reports of internal investigations within Red Bull GmbH concerning Horner’s conduct. While the specifics of these allegations remain undisclosed, Horner has denied any wrongdoing and expressed his full cooperation with the independent investigation. The investigation was conducted by an independent barrister and concluded with the dismissal of the complaint. The complainant has the right to appeal the verdict.
