Formula 1’s governing body has issued a statement after new claims about the ongoing situation around Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner.
The FIA released a statement addressing new claims related to the investigation of Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. A complaint has been lodged with the FIA’s Ethics Committee by the woman central to the allegations against Horner, as reported by BBC Sport. Initial allegations of inappropriate behavior by Horner were investigated by Red Bull GmbH, leading to a dismissal of the grievance following a thorough review. WhatsApp messages purportedly showing communication between Horner and the woman were leaked to key F1 figures and media, prompting ongoing investigations by both the FIA and F1. Horner has consistently denied the accusations, emphasizing his focus on on-track matters amidst rising internal tensions at Red Bull Racing. The FIA has now issued a statement confirming that enquiries and complaints are handled by the Compliance Officer and Ethics Committee independently, ensuring strict confidentiality throughout the process, making it hard to confirm specific complaints or provide extensive comments on them.
