Vowles responds to investigation into Horner's transgressive behaviour

Speaking to Bloomberg, James Vowles has commented on the news surrounding Christian Horner. The Williams team principal takes a particularly critical look in the mirror himself following the news.

News emerged on Monday that Red Bull have launched an internal investigation into the matter concerninch Christian Horner. The Red Bull Racing team principal has been accused of transgressive behaviour. So on the day of Williams' car launch, Vowles could not avoid the subject.

What Vowles says about the allegations against Horner

"The sport itself, wind back 20 years ago, male dominated without question. If you had to ask me what makes up a team, it would be white, more than likely male, more likely 40 years old and something in the ballpark. That’s changing, and it’s only positive that’s changing that result," Vowles began.

"I can only control what happens within Williams. And what I can do with the environment is open everyone’s eyes to this is how we have to be, because the best ideas don’t come from being a close group of individuals. It comes from diversity."

He added: "These allegations are allegations, I’m afraid, I don’t have any understanding of what is behind them and the significance of what has happened. All I can say that should this ever happened in our guard, we’ll be entirely supportive in terms of fixing it and making sure we have a culture that is accepting of everyone".

"Again, I think it means we will have to look each other in the mirror and make sure that we are posing the right question internally and acting in a way that we can only be proud of, not today, but in the next ten years," Vowles concluded.
