RB driver Daniel Ricciardo said he ‘feels’ for Red Bull boss Christian Horner amidst his investigation for sexual misconduct.
An investigation into allegations of Horner’s misconduct started in early January and a verdict is expected this Wednesday.
Speaking with the media, Ricciardo said that they were “aware of everything going on.”
However, he said that it wasn’t an on-track distraction: “Knowing we have so little time as well, it was really ‘I need to focus on me, my team, my driving’ and trying to start this week as strongly as possible.
“Do I feel for him [Horner] through all of this? Yeah, I’ve known Christian for a long time.
“He’s always been great with me. So I do hope that there is a fair outcome and resolution soon, hopefully before this weekend, so it’s not really a distraction for him or obviously anyone in the team.
“But honestly, for us, we’ve had to really just focus on ourselves and trying to get on with the task.”
