The case surrounding Red Bull team boss Christian Horner continues to haunt the paddock.

A week before the start of the test in Bahrain, the mysterious case with the world champion team seems to have disappeared into thin air for the time being. The Bulls invited media to the online launch via email on Wednesday. Christian Horner is also on the interview list.

Christian Horner’s name is still on the announcement of the Red Bull presentation.

Why is Red Bull silent?

Does this put an end to the chaos for the 113-time GP winner in 369 appearances? Hardly. An employee’s serious accusations remain up in the air at the factory and on the track, even though the presumption of innocence still applies.

An eight-hour interrogation in London with the longest-serving Formula 1 team boss apparently yielded inconclusive results. Red Bull, which has appointed an independent investigator, has so far remained silent.

Resigning would be a surprise

It is unclear how the relationship that has been disturbed for months between Horner and the Verstappen clan (Max and Jos) and sports director Marko will continue. The shards are everywhere.

It would be a surprise that Horner, married to ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell (51), would announce his resignation during the online team presentation in the evening.

Hardly any real photos

Not only for Ferrari, but also for Mercedes and McLaren, the theater opens a small door of hope for the market leader on the way to the longest season with 24 races.

Not surprisingly, Mercedes and McLaren-Mercedes have also not revealed the secret about the new racing car. The fans are fed with computer animations. It wasn’t until around noon, when both teams ended the filming day (200 km) in Silverstone, that we saw more. It is already clear that there will be no revolution in further development during the transition year.

Closed doors for Lewis

At McLaren, with probably the strongest driver pair (Norris and Piastri), they only want to make the big update jump in the third race in Australia. The fourth place at the World Cup wants to be on the podium in 2023.

At World Cup runner-up Mercedes, everything revolves around the departure of Lewis Hamilton. How motivated is he next to Russell? The 103-time winner (most recently Jeddah 2021) can forget one thing: all information for the future remains hidden from him.

“Only satisfied at the top”

Team boss Toto Wolff (52): “We hate losing. But in this sport there are no miracles, only hard work. We are facing a big mountain – the titles only wait at the top. We have several points of development in our baggage. We will find out more in Bahrain.”
