After allegations of misconduct surfaced, Christian Horner, the head of the Red Bull F1 team, is currently being investigated by Red Bull Austria. The company has hired an external lawyer to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation, with the results expected to be announced by the end of the week.
The news of the investigation has caused quite a stir within the Milton Keynes squad, but so far, it seems to have been contained within the upper management. The Dutch publication De Telegraaf brought this issue to light, shedding light on the internal struggles within the Austrian manufacturer. This has led to speculation about a potential change in leadership within the team.
According to various sources, a decision on the investigation could come as early as the end of this week, and there may be consequences to follow. If the allegations prove to be true, Horner’s reputation and Red Bull’s reputation could be severely damaged, potentially resulting in his removal from his position as team boss. In such a scenario, Horner has already identified the current sporting director as a potential successor.
Horner has been at the helm of the Red Bull team since its inception in Formula 1. His name has become synonymous with Red Bull over the years and has played a crucial role in the team’s success. Together, they have achieved an impressive record of 7 driver championships and 6 constructor titles, making them one of the most successful partnerships in the sport.
Having been together for over two decades, it is difficult to imagine Red Bull’s top management without Horner’s presence. He has been instrumental in shaping the team and has nurtured talented drivers who have become stars in their own right.
The recent 2023 season showcased Red Bull’s dominance, establishing them as a formidable force in the sport. Fans and the world at large are eagerly awaiting the final verdict of the investigation, as the bond between Horner and Red Bull has been a long-standing one.
