I talk to Christian a lot, and also throughout the weekend here he&#39;s fully committed to the team, he&#39;s also here for the performance. Of course, probably a little distracted. But like I said before, we just focus on the performance aspect, and that&#39;s how we all work together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horner controversy is &#8216;damaging&#8217; Formula One &#8211; FIA chief\u060c Formula 1 governing body chairman Mohammed Ben Sulayem said on Friday the ongoing controversy surrounding Christian Horner was &#8220;harming&#8221; the sport, following allegations of inappropriate conduct made against the Formula One director.
