Horner To Make First Public Appearance Since Start Of Investigation At Launch Of RB20

According to reports, Christian Horner is about to attend the official launch of his team's 2024 challenger RB20.

The team principal of the Red Bull Racing F1 team, Christian Horner, has avoided all the media and has not made a public appearance ever since the investigation against him was launched.

The team principal was accused of "inappropriate behavior" by a female employee of Red Bull Racing. The parent company, Red Bull GmbH, took the accusations seriously and immediately launched the investigation.

It is being carried out by an external lawyer to ensure fairness. Last Friday, the team principal attended an interrogation somewhere in London, but no conclusions were reached.

As of now, it is not clear how long the investigation might take. But as it stands, Christian Horner continues to work in his position as the team principal.

Some speculations suggested the 50-year-old had already been advised to resign, but he declined all the accusations made against him and refused to step down.

The report from F1 Insider mentioned that Liberty Media (owner of F1) is also starting to take interest in the case, and if the team principal was proven guilty, it seems the organization would request the resignation of the team principal.

However, the team principal retains his innocence until proven guilty. While former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde asserted the team principal wouldn't attend the launch of his team, new details suggest he might.

The team principal was reportedly present during Red Bull's secret shakedown and filming day of the new RB20, so it seems clear he continues doing his job even through the challenging times.

According to BBC, the Briton will make his first public appearance during today's launch of Red Bull's 2024 challenger - RB20. The event is supposed to start at 19:30 GMT.

Other key figures from Red Bull's management, like Helmut Marko, refused to comment on the ongoing case, but perhaps we might get some initial reactions, feelings, or details from the team principal himself.
