The first session of the press conference will feature Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner, who will face the media since the overruling of Red Bull’s right to review.

He will be paired with Ferrari team boss Mattia Binnoto and Fred Vasseur. Toto Wolff will headline the last session with Guenther Steiner.

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.

“It’s absolutely not a personal attack on Lewis Hamilton,” said Horner. “Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time world champion and everything that he’s achieved stands for itself.

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