Red Bull boss Christian Horner shares his reaction after the conclusion of the internal investigation

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner recently shared his thoughts after being cleared of all allegations in an internal investigation.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Christian Horner said he was pleased that the investigation process has ended. He did not speak about the details of the case, saying that he was completely focused on the 2024 F1 season. He added that he was happy to be in Bahrain and that Red Bull's sole focus was to defend their world titles.

"I’m just pleased that the process is over. I obviously can’t comment about it. We’re here very much to focus on the Grand Prix and the season ahead and defend both of our titles. The process has been conducted and concluded. I’m pleased to be here in Bahrain and with the team focused on the season. The team has never been stronger," he said.

At the beginning of February, Christian Horner was accused of inappropriate and controlling behavior by a female employee at Red Bull. The team's parent company immediately started an internal investigation against the Briton, hiring a special barrister to oversee the process.

Given that the investigation has ended with Christian Horner being cleared of any wrongdoing, his seat as the team principal of the Austrian-British team seems to be safe.
