Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said the team’s unity was key for their victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Horner is at the center of a controversy after being accused of inappropriate behavior towards a female employee.
Following a dominant 1-2 victory at the season’s opener in Bahrain, Horner tried to sway away from heavy topics and stated his thankfulness to the entire team behind the continuous triumph of the Milton Keynes-based outfit.
“I have to say a big thank you to all the men and women back at Milton Keynes who have worked so hard and come up with another great car.
“It’s testimony to that hard work that goes on behind the scenes, so a great team performance to get that one-two finish and maximum points.”
The Red Bull leader has also touched upon the team’s sponsors and shareholders as another important element of recent record-breaking results.
“We are a very strong team, we’ve got tremendous support and tremendous partners, great shareholders behind us as well.”
The unexpected inclusion of external contributors to a perfect start of the new season could be seen as a move to stabilize shaky relationships with current and future sponsors, as Ford had asked for a quick and effective resolution of the investigation against Horner before he was cleared of wrongdoings.
In the meantime, Horner confirmed that he would fly to Jeddah for the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
