Red Bull boss Christian Horner to come out fighting against 'cheating' accusations

Daily Mail  

Red Bull boss Christian Horner will defend himself against accusations they 'cheated' to help Max Verstappen win the world title last year in a press conference ahead of the US Grand Prix in Austin. Christian Horner will address 'cheating' accusations ahead of the US Grand Prix in Austin Red Bull were found to be in 'minor' breach of the £114m spending cap in 2021 en route to Max Verstappen winning his maiden world drivers' championship title Red Bull, it is believed, want the details made public so they can prove, as they see it, they did not overspend for performance reasons – and instead insist that the overspend, believed to be some £1.8m, related to non-track areas: such as catering, sick pay, gardening leave, which combined may amount to half or more of the total breach amount. Lewis Hamilton was denied a record eighth world championship by Verstappen last season Verstappen passed Hamilton on the final lap of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in the season finale to claim an extraordinary maiden world championship The next public showdown for Horner comes on Saturday in Austin, where he is due to be grouped together in a press conference alongside Wolff and his other chief accuser, Ferrari's Matteo Binotto. He will at least not have to confront McLaren's Zak Brown, who has written to the FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem to draw a line between Red Bull and the word 'cheating.
