“If it is done in the right way with transparency and rigor, we need to look at the outcomes and what it means for F1 and how we can learn from that. We want to talk about sport rather than these kind of very, very critical topics”, said the team principal.
“F1 and the teams, we stand for inclusion, equality, fairness, diversity. And it is not only talking about it, it is living it day in and day out. These are the standards we are setting ourselves. We are a global sport, one of the most important sports in the world, and we are role models”, he added.
“But there is a lot of speculation happening over the last weeks, speculation we have heard of, and lots of things that are going on. It is not just a team issue. It is an issue for all of F1”, said Wolff.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is the subject of an internal investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a female colleague. Horner has denied the allegations.
