“Unanswered quꦓestions” in the fallout to Christian Horner’s investigation may prevent the wider focus from movin𝐆g on, Karun Chandhuk warns.

Red Bull team principal Horner demanded at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix that the scrutiny - and theജ focus on his marriage and his family - a♛bruptly stops.

Horner has had public support from his wife, and from Red Bull’s majority shareholders, since he was cleared of wrongdoing by an independent lawyer after a co𓄧lleague made a complaint.

Sky Sports’ Chandhuk was asked if the saga could move on, and he responded: “I suppo♚se, from an internal perspecti🤡ve, it is his choice.

“Because he will s🌞et the tone for what’s h꧅appening inside the pit garage. He’s the boss, he dictates how the communication comes out of that team, and within that team.

“But you’re right to say that he can🍎’t decide whether the rest of the world - outside of the F1 bubble or the Red Bull bubble - moves on.

“There is a whole world outside who are still slightly in the dark, because so much of this has happene🌟d in the internal investigation.

“There are so few true facts that are out there. It’s very difficult for anyone to draw any conclusions because we don’t𓆉 know💜 the facts.”

The employee wh𓆏o made accusations against Horne🍸r has now been suspended by Red Bull.

Chandhuk insisted that the focus on this case will not en⛄d until more information is made available.

He said: “Until th🌱ere is a level of transparency about that - f🅠or example, they talked about the KC having done this process, and cleared [Horner] - but we don’t know the name of the KC. Details like that.

“There are so many unknowns about the process. We don’t 🍷know why - un🦂der what grounds - [Horner’s accuser] has been suspended.

“There are more unanswered questions, it feels.

“Until ꧃that level of transparency comes♑ out, I’m not convinced the world is going to move on.”

The Red Bull chaos included Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, demanding that Horner lose his ꦍjob over the situation.

Max, in S🌠audi Arabia this weekend, has chosen his words carefully when asked about his dadღ and his boss’ falling-out.

“I do think it matters,” Naomi Schiff said about the ill feeling betwee๊n Horner and Verstappen’s father.

“It feels li𓆉ke one thing after the next, since the🎃n.

“Those factors aren’t going to be helpi🃏ng the team.

“They are not going to be motivating everybody, o👍r keeping up a positive motivation or sp✱irit in the team.

“Max caꦐme out this week and said that his dad is not a liar. So you’ve got to assume that there is an element of some sides, here.

“Max🍒 maybe in the middle. He may be on hi⛎s dad’s side. All these things, we don’t know. We don’t know what the conversations have been.

“You would hope they would be able to put thꦍose things asꦿide to focus on the racing.”
