On the occasion of presenting Red Bull’s RB20 on the 15th of February, he said, as reported by FormulaPassion:

I deny all accusations made against me. But naturally I am collaborating with the investigations, which I hope will be concluded in the near future. I was with Jos and Max a few days ago at Silverstone. Max is completely focused on his work and supports me a lot.

Looking at the reaction of the 50-year-old, it is quite clear that while he is denying all the allegations, he has also made it known that he has the support of the Red Bull team behind him. In order to add more weight to his comments, he revealed that Max Verstappen also supports him in his ongoing tough times.

Christian Horner is one of the main pillars around whom the Red Bull’s F1 operation revolves. He has over the years played a crucial in making the Austrian outfit a top team and in case he is forced to leave his current role at the end of the ongoing investigation, it will be a body blow for both Horner and Red Bull.
