As far as we’re concerned, the chapter is now closed: Christian Horner

As reported by Formula1, FIA rejected Red Bull’s right to review as they did not find the fresh evidence significant enough to change their decision. Christian Horner came forward to express his feeling regarding the decision by the stewards.

“The stewards felt that it wasn’t new evidence under the confines of the regulations and so it wasn’t opened into another hearing, so we accept that.

“This competition is all about marginal gains and leaving no stone unturned. And of course, when you have an accident of that velocity and impact, of course, you’re going to make a full investigation,” said Horner.

“But as far as we’re concerned the chapter is now closed, the stewards have made their ruling and we now very much focus on this weekend and the remaining part of the championship,” Horner concluded.

“If it was any other competitor on the grid, we would have taken the same issue in the manner that we did,” said Horner.
