Christian Horner insists Red Bull did not submit any complaints against Toto Wolff and his wife Susie. The FIA have opened up an investigation over an alleged conflict of interest but Horner says his team had nothing to do with it.
Asked whether Red Bull lodged any complaint, Horner said on Sky Sports News: “Look, we have a big rivalry on track but we haven’t raised any official complaint, either about Susie or Toto or Mercedes to the FIA. In fact, Red Bull is the team that has got most involved with Formula One Academy from its inception, to the point that between the two Red Bull-owned teams we’ll be entering three cars.
“So we’ve been working closely with Susie, who’s been doing a great job on Formula One Academy. So I think we like others were quite surprised at the statement that came out last night but it certainly wasn’t instigated or required or set off by Red Bull.
“As I said we’ve not raised any official complaint or made any requests to the FIA or to FOM. We’ve been working very closely with Susie on the Formula One Academy.
“We’re the only group that is going to be entering three cars in the academy for 2024. It’s great work they’re doing with the academy and we’re certainly excited about that.
“As far as the other teams are concerned, I can’t talk on behalf of others. This is an FIA thing, they’ve taken this action but certainly nothing to do with Red Bull.”
