The investigation into Christian Horner has come to an end. More Vince Mignott/In response to the latest links to Ferrari, Horner said he was still committed to Red Bull, but did not deny that an offer was made or discussed. "Of course it's always flattering to be associated with other teams but my commitment 100 percent is with Red Bull," Horner said during a Spanish GP press conference. "It always has been and certainly will be for the long term. "There's a bunch of speculation always in this business. People coming here, going there or whatever. I think people within the team know exactly what the situation is." Horner also made a quick aside as Alpine senior official Flavio Briatore spoke in broken English. "My Italian is worse than Flavio's English, so how on earth would that work?" Horner said.

There has been plenty of discussion regarding Horner's future at Red Bull, given that the team has struggled to repeat its dominant success. There are also murmurs of a rift between Horner and senior advisor Helmut Marko, along with issues with Max Verstappen's camp as well. For the time being, the Red Bull leadership is seemingly focused on trying to get the best possible results. Even with the RB-21 struggling compared to the field, Red Bull is still in the middle of a title fight. Verstappen is only 25 points shy of Oscar Piastri for the lead in the Drivers' Championship. McLaren is the best car in the field so far, though Red Bull will likely respond with upgrades throughout the season. This off-season could lead to a massive internal shake-up at Red Bull if the team does not win.
