Christian Horner is in Bahrain for F1 pr🐻eseason testing on Wednesday.
He is currentl♊y being investigated by Red Bull, the parent company of the F1 team, after 𒈔allegations about his conduct from a female colleague.
Horner has denied all accusations.
He insisted last week at the launcꩲh of Red Bull's F1 car, the RB20, that he would still be in his job by the season-opening round in Bahrain on February 29.
But a report then emerged from The Timesꦏ insisting that Red Bull would aim to speed up a decision over their investigation in🦩to Horner, and could even come to a conclusion this week.
Formula 1 released their first statement on the issue urging a quick resol♏ution.
"We hope mattꦗer will be clarified at earliest opportunity, after a fair and thorough process," F1 said.
But, as of Wedn🍸esday morning, no decision had been announced.
Red Bull's Helmut Marko defended the spe𒐪ed of the investigation: "As you know, this is an internal investigation.
"[But] I think Red Bull has reacted ♛very well in this matter. The long duration of this investigation is not their fault. They are endeavouring to [have] a fair investigation a🦂nd then react accordingly.”
"The sooner a result is available, the better because of course, rumours and other stories are bound to sprout du𝓀e to the long duration.
But, Horner arrived in th🌌e F1 paddock alongside engineer Adrian Newey on W😼ednesday.
Th🎀e day is significant for the RB20 ꦗtaking to the track.
Red Bull enjoyed having F1's dominant car last year but, at the launch of their 2024 version, there was a mystery over certain element👍s of the RB20's concept.
Questions s꧑hꦺould be answered by its first laps under Horner's watchful eye.
