Christian Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, is currently under investigation for unspecified allegations made against him by a female employee, prompting Red Bull’s parent company to initiate a probe. Despite denying any wrongdoing, Horner faced extensive questioning by an independent barrister appointed by Red Bull to address the matter. As Red Bull continues to evaluate the investigation’s findings to determine appropriate actions, Horner has maintained his position. He participated in the recent launch of the team’s F1 2024 car and is expected to be present at the pre-season test in Bahrain before the F1 season opener on 2 March. The interest in the situation and the allegations has been escalating, especially as the F1 community congregates in Bahrain for the commencement of the 2024 campaign. In a statement, F1 expressed its desire for a swift resolution to the matter, emphasizing the importance of a fair and thorough process.
