Christian Horner declares his love for Bernie

During his 40 years of reign over the Formula 1, Bernie Ecclestone, indicted in Germany as part of the Gribkowsky affair, is currently experiencing one of the most difficult periods he has experienced at the head of his empire. If the question of his succession arises quite naturally due to his setbacks with the law and his advanced age, 82 years old, the big boss of F1 still retains the confidence of the shareholders of the premier category and even sees himself firmly supported by some players in the discipline.

This is particularly the case of Christian Horner. In the columns of Daily Telegraph, the Team Principal of Red Bull was full of praise for the big boss: “Bernie is a unique personality who has led Formula 1 with great success over the last 40 or 45 years., declared the Briton. The company, as it is today, is thanks to the way he managed and operated it. It's unimaginable for him not to be there, he said, refusing to express an opinion on the legal scandal in which Ecclestone is currently entangled. It's obviously very difficult for us to judge the problems he's dealing with right now, but I'm sure he's fully focused. (on Formula 1, Editor’s note). »

"As long as Bernie is able to run the business, then he's the right person to continue." It's as simple as that. I hope it will last for a long time » added Christian Horner, whose the name has been circulating as a potential successor of Ecclestone. A possibility that he refutes: " No not at all. I'm totally focused on what I'm doing.", justified the Red Bull Team Principal.
