Christian Horner recently had a meeting with an external barrister as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior. If found guilty, Horner’s career in Formula 1 could be in jeopardy. The details of the claims have not been disclosed. The meeting took place in London, at a location that was initially planned to be the Red Bull Racing headquarters in Milton Keynes. This change of venue was likely done to ensure an unbiased investigation. Horner was questioned by the barrister throughout the day, but he has made it clear that he has no intention of resigning from his role at Red Bull. However, there have been rumors about a potential replacement for him. The allegations of inappropriate behavior are a serious concern, and Red Bull GmbH has initiated an investigation into the matter. Despite this investigation, the team will have to continue with their pre-season activities without a definitive verdict on Horner. Tensions between Horner and other team members, including Max Verstappen, have reportedly escalated. The investigation is expected to be a lengthy process, and after several weeks, a report will be sent to the Red Bull board in Austria. The final decision regarding Horner’s position as the Red Bull Racing Team Principal will be made by the board. The ongoing investigation into Horner may overshadow Red Bull’s 2024 F1 season, as there might not be a conclusion to the case before the season opener. It remains to be seen how the team will handle the controversy surrounding Horner in the coming weeks.
