Horner to face Red Bull hearing on Friday
Red Bull, the parent company in Austria, has launched an official investigation in response to allegations made against Team Principal Christian Horner by a female employee. The investigation is being conducted by an external specialist barrister and is currently underway. The company is taking the matter very seriously and aims to complete the investigation as soon as possible. Horner has strongly denied any wrongdoing and will meet with independent legal representatives to discuss the matter. The Red Bull Racing Team has not made any official comment on the situation. This comes at a crucial time for the team as they prepare for the 2024 F1 season and finalize their new car design. In the 2023 season, Red Bull had a dominant performance, winning 21 out of 22 races and securing both the constructors’ and drivers’ world championship. Horner, who has been with the team since 2005, is the longest-serving team principal in grand prix racing and was recently awarded a CBE for his contributions to motor racing.
