Investigation into Alleged Misconduct
The reason behind Horner’s absence is not a random decision. It is linked to an ongoing investigation into alleged misconduct by Horner. The results of this investigation are expected to be announced on Wednesday, a day before the press conference.
While the details of the alleged misconduct are not yet public, the fact that it has led to Horner’s absence from such event is certainly raising eyebrows. As we wait for the results of the investigation, the Formula 1 community is abuzz with speculation and anticipation.
A Different Perspective
It’s important to remember that these are just allegations at this point. Until the results of the investigation are announced, it’s unfair to jump to conclusions. As fans and observers, all we can do is wait and watch.
