Red Bull scandal, Ecclestone speaks: “Horner innocent until proven guilty”

Horner-gate, Ecclestone speaks

Tomorrow Red Bull will present the RB20 and the 'burning' question is: Will Christian Horner be present or will he remain on the sidelines in light of the investigation concerning him? Yesterday Red Bull was involved in a filming day at Silverstone in which Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were able to test the third stage of the evolution of the concept which, starting from 2022, has obtained the embarrassing – positive – balance of 38 victories achieved out of 44 races staged in the last two years.

As reported by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf Christian Horner yesterday he was present at Silverstone to enjoy the first laps of the new borna presence that suggests that tomorrow the team principal will not take a step back during the presentation of the RB20.

Bernie Ecclestonewho has been portrayed for weeks as 'adviser' to Christian Horner regarding the investigation opened against the team principal, expressed himself as follows on the issue as reported by the newspaper sport.de: “Horner and I have been good friends for a long time, Christian has been charged, but is innocent until proven guilty. It must also be considered, however, that Red Bull is a company of enormous caliber and has everyone's eyes on it. He needs answers.” Horner was Bernie Ecclestone's best man at the former Circus supremo's wedding to his wife Fabiana Flosi.
