Christian Horner has broken his silence after being placed under investigation by Red Bull Racing's parent company following accusations of 'inappropriate behaviour'.

On Thursday, Horner attended the launch of Red Bull's new Formula One car for the 2024 season at their base in Milton Keynes.

His appearance comes after allegations of 'inappropriate behaviour' were made against him by a colleague.

The 50-year-old was quizzed by the external specialist barrister last week as he publicly denied the allegations for the first time.

It has been suggested that Horner is not 'expected to survive at Red Bull' following the investigation.

But he doesn't see it that way and has denied the accusations.

Horner spoke to Sky Sports and was asked if he had considered stepping aside from his role at Red Bull Racing during the investigation to which the Red Bull team principal and CEO replied: "No. It's business as usual. There obviously is a process.

"Obviously, I fully deny any accusations that have been made against me but of course I'll work with that process, which I hope is concluded in the near future."

Horner also revealed that he had been working daily at the factory since returning from the Christmas break on January 8 while confirming his attendance for the first race of the new season in Bahrain on March 2.

On the investigation, Horner explained: "I can't comment on what that process consists.

"I'm confident obviously in the process and working with the process and deny absolutely any allegations being made. I just continue to obviously work within that process until it's concluded."

Horner has been Red Bull team principal since they entered F1 19 years ago and said he remained "fully committed to his team".

He added: "I have built this team, I've convinced people to come here and work here, I enjoy working with the team and with the people.

"The biggest asset of this team is the people and that continues to be the case."
