Three-time world champion Max Verstappen has said that other teams are using a 'constant tactic' by talking about Christian Horner's internal investigation at Red Bull.

The team principal is currently the subject of an investigation into his conduct, following accusations of alleged 'inappropriate behaviour' which he 'completely' denies.

Horner is staying in his role as team principal while the process is ongoing, and was present at pre-season testing in Bahrain, representing the team.

His presence has led to various members of the F1 paddock talking about the investigation, with McLaren CEO Zak Brown labelling the allegations as 'extremely serious' and both he and Toto Wolff re-stated their teams' commitments to equality and inclusion.

Horner, on the other hand, has repeatedly used the line that he is not able to talk about the ongoing process, with media speculation following him around every corner in Bahrain.
