Formula 1 has chosen not to provide any statement regarding Christian Horner’s investigation. However, the sport has emphasized the importance of a fair and transparent process for this particular case.
The ongoing investigation surrounding Christian Horner has been receiving constant updates. As Red Bull prepares for the upcoming season, Formula 1 authorities have finally broken their silence on the matter. The leaked news regarding the status quo has weakened the case against the 50-year-old.
While many individuals within the grid have expressed their opinions on the case and the alleged sexually inappropriate behavior by Horner towards an employee, the Red Bull team has opted to keep the progress of the investigation confidential. Nevertheless, various details have been leaked by multiple media outlets, indicating that the odds are not in Horner’s favor.
Formula 1 has released a public statement addressing the ongoing investigation involving Christian Horner. The organization acknowledges Red Bull’s independent investigation and expresses its desire to conclude the process promptly and fairly. However, no further comments have been provided by the authorities, leaving the entire grid eagerly awaiting the investigation’s results.
The entire saga revolves around allegations made by a female employee within the team. Recently, De Telegraaf, a Dutch newspaper, leaked significant developments concerning the investigation. According to the publication, Christian Horner allegedly offered the female employee a sum of up to $800k to prevent her from making the allegations public.
Within 24 hours of the allegations becoming public, Horner’s lawyers reached out to the female employee. The 50-year-old principal vehemently denied the accusations and asserted his innocence. He was even offered the opportunity to resign from the team in order to salvage his reputation before any details were made public. However, Horner rejected these offers and opted to fight the case in court.
In an effort to expedite the process, the female employee may take the case to the English courts. Currently, she is on leave from her position in Milton Keynes while the investigation unfolds. The team is eager for a swift resolution to avoid any detrimental impact on their 2024 campaign. Horner’s departure from the team just before the start of the season would have a significant impact on their performance.
