Christian Horner will be at Red Bull’s car launch, despite the ongoing investigation into alleg🐓ations against him, which he denies.

Horner attended his team’s🐓 shakedown of their F1 2024 car, the RB20, at Silverst♊one on Tuesday.

And, significantly, he is set to be present on Thursday at Red Bull’s Milton Keynes headquarters when the media are welcomed foꦦr the official launch of the RB20.

Hജorner has denied allegations of controlling behaviour from a female colleague and was questioned by an independent lawyer⛦ last Friday, but no verdict has yet been issued.

“He’s under investigation. He is continuing in his🍨 job,” Sky’s Craig Slater updated.

“It’s business as🌠 usual, that’s the message that I am getting from Red Bull Racing.

“He has been in the🤪 factory for the last few days.

“He [was] at the Silverstone Circuit [on ꦜTuesday] where the car is having its shakedown.

“He is carrying out his duties🙈 as team principal and chief executive.

“I also expect h🅠im to present at the launch of the team’s car𝓀 on Thursday.

“The key point to make is that wꦇe have to separate what’s going on with the F1 team and the F1 schedule, with the season drawing close, and this investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

♛“We understand a female member of staff has made them ab💫out controlling and coercive behaviour which Horner denies.

“That will 🐈follow its own timescale. I have been reporting consistently that it could take weeks and could stretch into the Formula 1 season befor🅰e that investigation is concluded.

“I’ve heard nothingꦏ to change that potential timescale.”

Initially Red Bull hoped to make a decision in Horne💝r’s inves✨tigation before launching their car on Thursday, but that will no longer happen.

Red Bull GmBH, the F1 team’s parent company, said las🌠t weeꦉk: “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation.

“The company t⭕akes these matters extremely seriously.”

Horner has said: “I completely deny the claims.”

The F1 team have said: “Having being made aware of certain recent allegations, the comp🐲any launched an independent investigation. This process is being carried out by an external specialist barrister.

“The investigation will be c♛ompleted as soon as practically🧜 possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

Supporters of Horner believe heജ is “a pawn in a wider power struggle” at Red Bull, the  report.

Hor𓆉ner still counts the influential Bernie Ecclestone as an “ally”, the report states, and he believes he can retain his job as team principal and chief executive of Red Bull Rꦦacing.

But other F1 insiders think he might no☂t cling on, the newspaper reports.
