Team Principal Horner was quite surprised by the reports covering Newey’s accident. Nevertheless, he is happy that Newey is fully fit and back to helping the Raging Bulls for a Grand Prix weekend.

Up until the Turkish Grand Prix, Newey was absent. It was later reported that the Red Bull engineer had been involved in a bike crash while he was in Croatia. Now fully fit, Horner is quite shocked to see the number of reports covering this incident.

As quoted from Motorsport-Total, Horner said, “Such things are sometimes reported disproportionately. It is true that he had an accident on his vacation. Fortunately, he is fully fit again – for a few weeks now. He has already been to Istanbul and he is in good shape.” (Translated via Google Translate)
