The ongoing saga surrounding Red Bull team principal Christian Horner could lead to the FIA turning to its International Sporting Code
The FIA may utilize its International Sporting Code to ensure transparency following an investigation into alleged misconduct by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. After a meeting with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali to address the situation, an independent investigation dismissed the initial claim against Horner. However, new evidence emerged in the form of an anonymous email containing alleged conversations between Horner and the female employee involved. Discussions are ongoing to address the urgency of the situation, with forensic examinations being conducted by specialists from both the FIA and F1. The FIA could potentially invoke specific articles from the ISC, such as those detailing fraudulent conduct or actions causing moral injury, to address the impact of the ongoing saga on the reputation of motorsport’s governing body.
