His team started the season in perfect style at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen took a grand slam and led a 1-2 to hand them a perfect start on track.

Horner: Draw a line under it

The complainant has since been suspended by Red Bull according to the PA news agency but retains the right to appeal the decision of the investigation.

Speaking about the matter in Jeddah, Horner shared the effect that it has had on himself and his family.

“I think an awful lot has been made out of this,” he said. “Obviously, it has been of great interest in different elements of the media for different reasons. I think the time now is to look forward and draw a line under it.

“We are here to go racing, we are here as a Formula 1 team, and the time now is to focus on what is going on track and the performance of the cars and the drivers, where the spotlight should be during the course of a Grand Prix weekend.

“The scrutiny on my marriage - I've got a beautiful family - it's been very trying. When there [are] children involved, and family involved, it's not pretty. My wife has been phenomenally supportive. The intrusion on my family is enough. It's time to focus on why we are here.”
