Christian Horner has found himself in extremely hot waters because of the ongoing investigation.
The first race of the 2024 F1 season is just a few days away and still, the Christian Horner inappropriate behavior saga is very much making the headlines.
It has come to light that Red Bull’s 2026 partner, Ford is not pleased with the pace with which the Horner investigation is taking place.
After an initial outpouring of updates regarding the investigation, things have settled down a bit and this has not sat well with Ford. The Michigan-based company wants to see swift actions regarding the ongoing investigation so that the matter can be put to bed for good.
It has come to light that Ford CEO, Jim Farley has sent a letter to Red Bull to take the matter very seriously. In the letter, Farley has written, as reported by AP:
We are likewise frustrated by the lack of full transparency surrounding this matter with us, your corporate partners, and look forward to receiving a complete account of all findings.
The reaction of Farley has made it clear that the whole Ford group is extremely frustrated with the Christian Horner saga. Moreover, has asked the Red Bull group to be completely transparent with its findings.
Christian Horner has been immensely active ahead of the 2024 F1 season
Since the news dropped that Christian Horner is under investigation for inappropriate behavior investigation, many believed that he was not going to be involved in the Red Bull F1 team’s day-to-day operations. However, nothing of this sort has happened as he was present at RB20’s car launch and was also present in the paddock during the recently concluded F1 testing.
From the way things have been going, it seems that Brit is going to stay fully committed to his duties despite the ongoing investigation. The Bahrain GP is just three days away and he is most likely going to be on the Red Bull pit wall.
Ford wants a swift resolution of the Christian Horner saga but, despite their wishes, it will stretch on into the 2024 season. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, it is going to be fascinating to see how Ford will react if Horner is found guilty.
