The Red Bull 2024 car launch is just around the corner and ahead of it, its team principal, Christian Horner, has found himself in a bit of a pickle. He has been accused of ‘inappropriate behavior’ toward an employee; this is one of the main stories that is trending in F1 at the moment.

A lot has been already said about it by various esteemed personalities, and amidst all this, the Red Bull team adviser, Helmut Marko, has chosen to keep a tight lip on it. The matter is extremely delicate and the people in the Austrian outfit are not willing to say anything until the ongoing investigation is completed.

In a short phone call with Motorsport-Total, Helmut Marko was asked to share his take on the ongoing Horner investigation, however, the latter did not give away anything. He simply said,

I'm not saying anything about it.

The 80-year-old’s reaction has made it quite clear that the Milton-Keynes-based outfit is taking the ongoing matter extremely seriously. They are well aware of what is at stake for them and thus, do not want to give anything away.

Christian Horner has outright denied the allegations

While an investigation is in full swing into Christian Horner’s alleged inappropriate behavior allegations, the Brit has downright denied them.

When the shocking news broke out yesterday, Horner completely denied the allegations, and while talking about it, said, as reported by De Telegraaf:

I completely deny these claims.

The 50-year-old has found himself in extremely hot waters and only time will tell how things will further pan out for him. As things stand, he is still the team principal of the reigning world champions, the Red Bull F1 team.

However, considering that Red Bull is set to launch its 2024 car on the 15th of February, the timing of the ongoing investigation is certainly going to negatively impact the event. Even if Christian Horner is proven innocent in the upcoming days, he will in all likelihood, be bombarded with questions about it during the Red Bulls car launch event.
