Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, faces intense scrutiny and hours of questioning on Friday as he contends with allegations of inappropriate and controlling behavior towards a female member of the F1 team. The accusations, strenuously denied by Horner, have prompted an independent investigation initiated by Red Bull Austria, emphasizing their serious approach to the matter. The investigation, led by an external specialist barrister, is underway, with both Horner and the woman involved being thoroughly questioned as part of the process.
The company’s statement affirms the gravity of the situation and underscores their commitment to a thorough investigation, promising completion at the earliest opportunity. Meanwhile, Horner remains in his position and is currently away with senior management, while his wife, Geri Halliwell, reportedly feels devastated by the unfolding events.
The controversy threatens to cast a shadow over Red Bull’s preparations for the 2024 season, despite their recent dominance in Formula 1, culminating in Max Verstappen’s third consecutive title in 2023. The team’s impressive track record risks being overshadowed by the unfolding scandal surrounding their team principal.
