Horner has met with the independent investigator hired by Red Bull and on February 9, he faced ten hours of interrogation at an unknown location in London by the King’s Counsel.
It had been indicated that the investigations would continue into pre-season testing and could even last up to the first race of the season in Bahrain later this month.
However, it has been reported that the defending champions are keen to conclude their findings soon in order to avoid further disruptions and that it could meet its end as early as next week.
Horner made his first public appearance since the ordeal started at the launch of the RB20, where he continued to protest his innocence.
