Just a day after being cleared of inappropriate behavior by an external investigation, Red Bull Formula One team principal Christian Horner has reiterated that he denies allegations of wrongdoing. This comes after alleged leaked messages were distributed to members of the F1 community Thursday, containing a Google drive of WhatsApp messages. It was anonymously emailed to notable race officials, teams and journalists around the world. Phil Duncan – CNN Contributor and F1 correspondent for the Press Association – received the drive in an email from an unknown account titled, febtwentyninth@gmail.com. “We had the investigation and Christian Horner was effectively exonerated by Red Bull’s parent company, but then the WhatsApp messages landed last night to almost 150 members of the Formula 1 paddock, which included all the nine other team principles, the FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and members of the media too,” Duncan told CNN Sport on Friday. “It’s an investigation for Horner which he may have thought was over on Wednesday night when he arrived but has obviously changed dramatically 24 hours later.” Horner is currently in Bahrain for the first race of the 2024 F1 season on Saturday.
