Christian Horner was there, as if nothing was wrong. During the presentation of the RB20, Red Bull made no mention of the ongoing investigation into the team boss' cross-border behaviour. Talking to the media, Horner could not avoid the subject.

A week ago, Horner was questioned for eight hours by an independent investigator, whose job it is to find out whether a female team member's allegations against Horner are founded. Despite the ongoing investigation, the Briton decided not to remain on the sidelines and naturally the questions came from journalists. There was not much Horner seemed able to say.

Was it a bit strange for you to stand here and answer all the questions?
Horner, speaking to GPblog: " No, not at all. I am very proud of what this team has done and what it is still going to do. What we have achieved in the last 20 years - or 19 seasons - is really incredible. It's great to see the launch of our twentieth car."

Yes, but we were aiming at something else. Are you feeling the support, especially from Red Bull Austria? Because they were quick to send out a statement about the investigation.
"I have very much support. The shareholders have all supported us tremendously and of course there is a process. There have been allegations that I completely deny. I am working on the investigation that is going on, so I cannot say much. It is an internal matter within the company, but hopefully it can be concluded soon."

Do you have any idea when?
"There is no exact timeline. It is an ongoing process and something internal to the company."

Do you feel the support from everyone in the team, from the drivers?
"The support from the whole team is really unlikely. It's situations like this where you learn who you can count on. There is incredible support from the team. The drivers were great, the partners; it's incredible."
