Christian Horner – latest: Helmut Marko defends timing of investigation
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has defended the timing of the company’s “inappropriate behaviour” investigation into F1 team principal and chief executive Christian Horner.
Horner, the longest-serving team principal on the F1 grid, has been accused of “inappropriate, controlling behaviour” from a female colleague, with the team’s parent company Red Bull GmbH opening an investigation into the 50-year-old’s conduct.
Horner strongly denied the claims when they were first publicised on February 5 and repeated those rebukes at the team’s 2024 F1 car launch last week in Milton Keynes.
With the matter set to drag on into pre-season testing this week – with the first race of the season next Saturday on 2 March – F1 has urged Red Bull to conclude the investigation as soon as possible.
