The employee at the heart of the Christian Horner ‘inappropriate behaviour’ saga was suspended earlier in the day.
It has been revealed that the Red Bull employee who accused team principal Christian Horner of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ was suspended due to dishonesty, as reported by RacingNews365. The scandal surrounding Horner and his team has been ongoing for the past four weeks, following the launch of an investigation by Red Bull GmbH. Despite the grievance against Horner being dismissed, a new wave of turmoil ensued after alleged WhatsApp conversations between Horner and his accuser were leaked. Jos Verstappen, father of three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen, criticized the internal tensions within the team and called for Horner’s removal. The woman involved in the accusation was suspended for dishonesty amid ‘inaccuracies in her evidence’, as revealed ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Horner declined to comment on the situation, stating it was confidential, and emphasized the need to bring the matter to a close amid pending legal procedures.
