After a week of turmoil and drama, Christian Horner, the beleaguered team principal of the Red Bull Formula One team, was given succour yesterday when his team delivered a dominant victory at the ­season-opening race in Bahrain. My focus is on this team, my family, my wife and going racing. I have the support of an incredible family, of an incredible wife, of an incredible team and everybody within that team. My focus is on going racing and winning races and doing the best I can. Red Bull would not comment on the process while it was going on. Horner and Red Bull, having refused to comment on the process while it was going on, now said they could not comment on it for confidentiality purposes. When Mateschitz bought an F1 team to establish Red Bull Racing, he took Horner on as team principal for its first season in 2005.
