Horner is going to Bahrain with Red Bull Racing despite investigation

The internal investigation into the alleged inappropriate behaviour by Christian Horner towards a female employee has not yet been concluded. Red Bull will still be working with Horner as normal during the Bahrain test week. At least that becomes clear from the press conference schedule from the FIA.

Horner also presented the RB20, the car that Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will race in 2024. The Brit will be present in Bahrain where testing is scheduled this week. A week later, the opening race of the Formula 1 season will also be held at the same circuit.

Horner will talk to the media on Thursday. No doubt, the team boss will then receive many questions about the allegations. Max Verstappen will also sit down for an international press conference in the coming week. It is the world champion's turn on Friday. Lewis Hamilton will also be present in the same session. The start times of the press conferences are listed below. Bahrain are three hours ahead of the United Kingdom and two hours ahead of CET. GPblog will be present in Bahrain throughout the week and will report from the press conferences.
