Bernie Ecclestone has denied claims ♓that he got involved in Christian Horner’s Red Bull in🌠vestigation.

“To clarify reports by newspapers that I had urged or suggested that Christian Horner should step down from his position in Red Bull is entirജely UNTRUE,” the ex-F1 supremo posted to social media.

Horner is currently being investigated by an independent lawyer for claims against him of inappropriate behaviour, w⛎hich he has denied, from a female colleague.

No ve🌳rdict has been issued on the quꦉestioning that Horner faced last Friday.

Ecclestone had reportedly become involved by stories that emerged in the German media. They alleged that Ecc✱lestone advised Horner to resign from his job.

But the ཧ93-yeওar-old has now vehemently shot down those claims.

Horner, meanwhile, is set to be present for Red൩ Bull’s F1 2024 car launch at their Milton Keynes headquarters on Thursday.

He is continuing ༺in his job as team principal and chief executive of Red Bull Racing amid the investigation into his conduct.

He was also present at Si🎉lverstone on Tuesday when the RB20 was 𝔉shaken down for the first time.

There is no of🐭ficial timescale on a verdict for the investigation into Horner, but the start of the F1 season on March 2 will not be a factor.

Red Bull GmBH, the F1 tea𓆉m’s parent compa♓ny, said last week: “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation.

“The company takes these mattಌers ex🌳tremely seriously.”

Horner has said: “I completely deny the claims.”

The F1 t🐷eam have said: “Having being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation. This process is being carri♌ed out by an external specialist barrister.

“The investigation will be completed as soon as pract🦩ically possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”
