Christian Horner: “Others looked to take advantage; looking to benefit…”
Christian Horღner claims unnamed people are "looking to benefit" from the si♊tuation surrounding him
Christian Horner has criticised rivals who he claims tried to “take advantage” of 𒈔his investigation by Red Bull.
The employee who complained against Horner has now been suspended by Red Bull, after the team principal was cleared of the allegations made against him, which he always 🌳denied.
At the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend, Horner h🎉as been bullishꦆ in demanding the attention on his investigation ends.
And𝄹 he insisted that it has allowed unnamed peoplꦏe to seek an edge over him.
“The only reason that this has gained so much attention, obvious♐ly, is because of the leakage, and the tension that has been drawn in the media,” Horner said.
“Which has been very, very trying, in man🎃y respec🌞ts.
“Particularly for my fam♈ily, because it’s all been focused very much in one ♍direction.
“What has happened, then afte💯r, is that others have looked to take advantage of it.
“Unfortunately Fo♑rmula 1 is a competitive business.
“There’s been obviously elements looking to benefi🗹t ꦿfrom it. That’s perhaps the not-so-pretty side of our industry.”
Horner insisted he was prohibited from commen🐠ting on his accuser being suspended by Red Bull🐻.
“It’s a complicated issue because there ꦑis a grievance process that takes place in any company,” Horner said.
“That proce♏s📖s is confidential between the individuals.
“I’m not ๊at liberty, unfortunately, due to that confidentiality, and out of respect to the company and, of course, the other party.
🅷“We’re all bound by the same restrictions and so even if I would like to talk about it, I can’t because of those confidentiality restrictions.”
The added drama within Red Bull is the heated criticism from Max Verstappen’s f🅺ather Jos.
Jos ♋had demanded that Horner lose his job in charge of the F1 team, in the wake of his investigation.
But Jos is not present in Saudi Arabia, a week after he argued with Horner in⛎ Bahrain, because of a pre-arrangeไd rally car race that he is competing in.
