- Horner ‘not going to comment on anonymous speculation’
- World champion declines invitation to back Red Bull principal
Christian Horner was on Friday night still fighting for his future in Formula One but remained insistent he was going nowhere as the furore around his exoneration, after a complaint about his behaviour from a female Red Bull employee, continued to dominate the agenda at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Notably after qualifying however, his world champion driver, Max Verstappen, who had claimed pole for the opening race of the season, first declined to express his confidence in Horner and when pushed on the subject stated he had faith in Horner’s role from a “performance” perspective and suggested he was “probably a bit distracted”.
