Red Bull suspends female employee following Horner investigation
Following an eight-week-long probe by an independent lawyer appointed by Red Bull in response to allegations of inappropriate behavior by a female employee, Christian Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing just ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Red Bull confirmed that the grievance against Horner had been dismissed, and the employee at the center of the matter was subsequently suspended from the team. Despite no official statement from Red Bull, the decision to suspend the staff member has raised questions and increased public scrutiny on Horner. The situation took a complicated turn when an anonymous source shared alleged evidence from the case to senior F1 personnel, fueling further speculation and criticism towards Horner. As the controversy continues, all eyes are now on Red Bull’s managing director Oliver Mintzlaff and whether he will address the matter at the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
