Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff 🅘has urged greater transparency over the investigation into Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

On Wednesday, Red Bull chief Horner was clea🃏red following an investigation into alleged inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards a female colleague, whic🎉h he denied.

Wolff, who has been one of been o♚ne of the loudest senior voices on the matter since the investigation into Horner began, described Red Bull’s statement as “basic” and “vague”.

"Well I just read the statement, which was pretty basic, I would say,” Wolff said⛄ on Thur💜sday. 

"My personal opinion is we can’t really look behind ๊the curtain. At the end of the day, there is a lady in an organisation that has spoken to HR and sa🀅id there was an issue, and it was investigated and yesterday, the sport has received the message that it’s all fine, we’ve looked at it.

“I believe with the aspiration as a global sport, on such critical topics, it needs more transparency, and I wonder what the sport’s pos༒ition is. We’re competitors, we’re a team and we can have our own personal opinions or not꧒.

“But it’s more like a general reaction or action that we as a sport need 🧜to assess, what is right in that situation an൲d what is wrong.”

Asked if pressure should be put on Red Bull’s parent company GmbH to reveal further details, Wolff replied: “Are we talking with the right mꦇoral approach, with the values based on the speculations that are out there?

“I simply tꦫhink as a sport, we cannot afford to leave things in the vague and in the opaque on critical topics like this, because this is going to catch us out, eventually.

“We’re in a super transparent world, eventually things are going to happen, and I think we have the duty, the organisation has the duty to say well we’ve looked at it, and it꧂’s♎ OK, and then we can move on.

"It’s sometimes very short-sighted to try to suppress it. Not saying this has happ💯ened. We’re standing from the outside and looking at it. But just as a looking at statements or press releases or the timelines, it just seems that it’s a bit not as modern as things go in this world, in the real world out there.

“But maybe in Formula 1, we’re just our little bu💟bble and we think that’s OK.”

McLaren boss Zak Br🧸own echoed Wolff’s call for transparency.

“I think the sanctioning ꦑbody has a responsibility and authority to our sport, to our fans,” Brown said.

“I think all of us in Formula 1 are ambassa🧜dors for the sport on and off the track, like you see in other 😼sports. So I think they need to make sure that things have been fully transparent with them. I don’t know what those conversations are.

“It needs to be thorough, fully t🌳ransparent, and that they come to the same conclusion that has ben given by Red Bull, and that they agree with the outcome.

“But I th𝄹ink until then, there’ll continue to be speculation, because there are a lot of unanswered questions about the whole process. So I think that’s what’s needed by those who run the sport to be really able to draw a line under it.

“Until then, I think there’ll continue to be some leꦡvel of๊ speculation by people and I don’t think that’s healthy for the sport.”
