"I think he not only has my support, but I think the entire team is behind him": Sergio Perez comes out in support of Red Bull boss Christian Horner

Sergio Perez has publicly supported Red Bull team boss Christian Horner amid his investigation controversy.

Christian Horner was accused of inappropriate behavior by a female employee after which Red Bull initiated an internal investigation. Though the accusations against Horner were dropped, the case took a turn for the worse when an anonymous email leaked alleged conversations between the Briton and the female employee.

Speaking to the media, Sergio Perez said that Christian Horner not only has his support, but is also being backed by the entire Red Bull team. The Mexican praised Horner for his achievements and emphasized how important he is to the team.

"I think he not only has my support, but I think the entire team is behind him. He is, of course, a very important person within our organization, and the work he has done over the years, that goes without saying. Christian is a key figure in our organization," Perez said.

Sergio Perez further said that he is not paying much attention to the entire controversy and is focused on racing.

"I can only say something from the race side, I don't know what's going on. And to be honest, I don't follow it like that. I am a race car driver and what I do here. I don't do politics. I drive the car as fast as I can," he added.
