Lewis Hamilton has criticized the handling of investigations into Christian Horner as ‘disappointing’ and detrimental to the sport’s reputation.
The Bahrain Grand Prix’s opening round was overshadowed by off-track controversies surrounding Horner, who was subsequently cleared by Red Bull of alleged ‘inappropriate behavior’ towards a female colleague.
Amid leaked documents and the suspension of Horner’s accuser, Hamilton voiced dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation.
Expressing concern over the impact on F1’s image, Hamilton highlighted the need for accountability and transparency, urging the sport to uphold its values during such challenging times.
Emphasizing the significance of diversity and inclusion, Hamilton underscored the importance of fostering a comfortable environment within the sport, which is currently undermined by the ongoing turmoil.
As the situation continued to unfold, Hamilton called for progress and swift resolution, wary of prolonged repercussions on the sport’s integrity and reputation. He stressed the necessity for transparency moving forward, advocating for a proactive approach to address underlying issues within the sport.
