Christian Horner says Red Bull will consider taking action if its F1 rivals don't withdraw 'defamatory' comments regarding last year's cost cap.

Red Bull said it will consider taking action against rival Formula 1 teams if they do not withdraw what it considers to be"defamatory" and"unacceptable" comments.Ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, Red Bull had found itself at the centre of intrigue over potential breaches of the F1 cost cap rules last year.

“Unless there is a clear withdrawal of those statements, we will be taking it incredibly seriously and looking at what the options available to us are,” said Horner. "We don't even know if we're in breach. We don't even know until next week, until the process has been completed.” “I think it's an underhand tactic that's been employed to detract from perhaps a lack of performance on track this year. And of course, when references are made to last year, this year, next year, we're going to take that extremely seriously.

Get the lawyers out Horner. I want to see you embarrass yourself over “deflamatory” statements made 🤣🤣🤣

Whino spice and the family bully. This man chats shit and hot cakes.

At least the FIA won’t have to take the 2022 WDC title from Max as well, as he hasn’t actually gained enough points to “win” it yet. It may hurt when they correct the 2021 WDC result however that one was never really his. F1 F1xed

Go ahead Christian Horner, make my day!

redbullracing will not take action as they know it is all true.

Deflamatory*

😂

Whinger will piss himself

Yeah but it's not defamation if the statements are truthful. So he should really fucking hope that everything will be a-okay on Wednesday.

Karen Horner doing what he does. Spiceboy is wild. No shame

Karen Horner says Red Bull will consider taking action if its F1 rivals don't withdraw 'defamatory' comments regarding last year's cost cap

He needs to take action against the world's press as well then!! Or for once just keep his own mouth shut until they are found innocent or guilty!!

After last seasons media smear campaign, the irony is large with this one

God I hate that team

Well in order for it to be defamation the comments have to damage “the good reputation”. Red Bull has no reputation to tarnish so I’m not sure what Horner is going on about. The report will be out soon enough and we’ll all know then.

Something to hide.

I'm beginning to think this bern done for a DTS story and on Wednesday it will all blow over and everyone will get certification

Let’s see if he says the same next week, if it comes out they have over spent! I will laugh my socks off!!!!🤣🤣

“The lady doth protest too much me thinks…”😃

Rbr are the first to defame others with the vile that spews out of marko’s mouth, so they want to be careful!

What was it Christian said about lewis after silverstone? Yeah thought so. Fine with saying things himself but doesn’t like it when people return the favour. Childish

I wonder if this is the real reason for Porsche pulling out of the merger with Red Bull. Did Red Bull have to declare this and also detail the possible sanctions...hmmmmmm F1F1xed

It’s come down to this. The championship is a foregone conclusion so the team bosses, with liberty’s blessing, decided this is the entertainment for the rest of the season

Depends if the comments are true or not he's up shit creek if they're true lol

Maybe if they hadn’t delayed publishing their findings, there would be less speculation?

Same person that's always shit talking mercedes and claiming they're cheating?😭

Lol, what a guy. Give him credit, he is really good at gaslighting and deflection 'RBR potentially cheating isn't the problem! It being in the media and people commenting on a potential major story is the REAL problem'

In the heat of Singapore, he looks more and more pale this weekend! He’s very loud, vocal and on the defensive. If they have nothing to answer, he wouldn’t feel so threatened and insecure!!!

Oh please Horner is textbook DARVO’ing PR spin again RedBull costcap

No one accused them of anything, it was simply stated that 2 team breached the cap and rumour has it its AM and RB. I think RB should try and take the other teams to court, and see if they win. Let's wait until Wednesday and see what happens.

Wel its not like ex merc personel is now working for fia .. oh wait!!

The more Christian and Helmut talk the more it’s clear they are guilty. They went over budget and are using the media to throw people off the scent the FIA will probably work with them to hide the overspending too.

When Horner learns to keep his gob shut, then thats when he can start taking Umbridge at what others say...

Naah they’re rigged cheating organization BS

Last year by there own admission they spent millions on building a new factory and taking on staff, so did Aston Martin. And there was a cost cap in place. Or does Honda do it for free.

Lol says the guy who accused Hamilton of trying to kill Max last year? Amongst many other things 👀😅💀

Leren him open the books as all of us know that Redbull cheats so let him fight it will be a nog joke

Whine 🤣😂

Good

I think he protests too much.

Imagine if he got robbed in Abu Dhabi 😆

Be hard to take action seeing as none of them have mentioned them by name! Only the TV channels have said it's rumoured to be RB! Seems they have a guilty conscience and are going on the defensive early!

This is just a theory , but I see People comparing this to the flexi floor situation . Horner didnt get this defensive and acused other teama of defamaition back then ...so this makes you wonder....

Go ahead don't wait hurry, run leave u fraud

RedBull are crooks

The f1 Karen😂😂😂😂

Christian Horner should just shut up & wait till Wednesday. If they’re under the cap as he says, he can put his smug face on & the rumours will disappear. If they’re not & they did indeed exceed the cost cap, especially after the “we need more money”, then they’ve been cheating.

Toto losing Championship now De Vries hahah he doesn’t know what he is doing anymore 😂 accusations of flexi floor ( Max even faster without it ) tried to turn Perez against Max - failed and now some “breach” 😂 We would like to see Mercedes budget cap ( please ) 🤡 loooosers

Basically fia has mercedes paid employees who leak info. That means they would have leaked pics of other cars as well? And secrets too?

Yes lets hang Horner. We haven't got any proof, but we don't like him and on twitter we want gossip not proof🤮

We’re going to sue. We’ve done nothing wrong!: “We don't even know if we're in breach.” but “we stand absolutely 100 percent behind that submission that we are below the cap. but “we await with interest to see the final outcome” SingaporeGP F1

Smoke and mirrors

_Ed Toto Wolf is the entertainment gift which keeps on giving.

Here we go again. 🙄

And so he should.

This bitch

Remember “100% proof of what causes MercedesAMGF1 score marks”. Lol

Christian said 'deflammatory'. Get it right :)

🙄

In what jurisdiction can you be found to have defamed a multi-million (or billion) dollar brand?

True. Becose Toto is publicly suggesting Fia what they should do. To give them penalty , via media 'pushing for dsq' but in reallity ensuring penalty for next year or this year pts deduction' and that redbullracing should accept that deal from Fia. In that way they would lose

😂😂😂😂😂

Wolf needs to get his ass sued

And Mekies from Ferrari is the clown of the day asking for a strong punishment, on a rumor, they have real short memories with their secret deal in 2019 for the illegal engine. Talking about hypocrite

Take Mercedes to court for difamation, you will win hands down

Here we go! The best defence is to attack. Like a little Jack Russel with serious self confidence issues. Toxic.

Imagine a mere energy drinks company threatening a whole Ferrari or a whole Mercedes-Benz-Ineos 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Please do, they should be called out for inventing lies. Susie_Wolff should do the same by divorcing her cheating husband

Sounding guilty 😂

He really needs to look at the wider paddock as clearly someone has leaked some sort of information and everyone has latched on to it.

Deflamatory*

Karen Horner at it again

he wanted to hurt toto wolff isn't that what he said? 🤣🤣 you gone soft now hunh?

Funny that even Horner belives this is Max first shot at winning a WDC 🤣 'Is it any coincidence that Max has his first shot at winning a world title, and here we are talking nothing but cost caps rather than the phenomenal performance that he has had this year.' F1xed

Good for him. Enough is enough! Mercedes always playing victim game, spread untrue accusations and their fans are eating it all, like the blind following the one eyed monster, (Or however it’s called in English)

Lets wait till the 5th before Horner starts demanding people to apologise. A fire dont start on its own buddy!

Fs what a fraud they were doing the exact same thing to the mercs for the last 8 years karma has finally got round to them now there crying like babies

Yeah, so just to be clear. Threatening to take legal action IS NOT a statement denying the allegation. 🤷🏻‍♂️ RedBull | GuiltyAsCharged F1 |SingaporeGP

Guilty man talking

So they should, if it is indeed false. Basically accused them of cheating with zero public evidence

Maybe other teams should take action when Horner opens his mouth. The guy lives pure hypocrisy.

I'm going to have to mute the phrase 'cost cap' until Wednesday aren't I?

The Toto and Christian love story continues

🤔

Horner rn👇
