The FIA has now issued its own statement, choosing to reserve detailed comments until the investigation concludes.

“In relation to the independent investigation currently being undertaken by Red Bull GMbH, the FIA reiterates that until such time as the investigation has concluded and the outcome is known, we will not be commenting further.

“The FIA remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, fairness and inclusivity within the sport.”

During the launch of Red Bull's latest car last week, when questioned about the ongoing investigation, Horner stressed the team's forward-looking perspective and their anticipation of hitting the track once again.
