According to reports, former Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone is acting as a mediator between Christian Horner and Red Bull as they face an investigation into Horner’s conduct. Horner, who is currently the Team Principal of Red Bull, is being investigated for alleged inappropriate behavior. If found guilty, Horner’s position within the Milton Keynes-based team could be in jeopardy. Ecclestone, a long-time friend of Horner’s, has recently commented on the controversial investigation.
Earlier, it was rumored that Ecclestone advised Horner to resign before the details of the investigation became public. However, Horner has denied these claims. In fact, he was present at the shakedown of the RB-20 car at Silverstone. Ecclestone emphasized his longstanding friendship with Horner, even revealing that Horner was his best man at his third wedding. Ecclestone firmly stated that Horner should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
Nevertheless, the attention surrounding Horner’s investigation is undeniable. As Red Bull is a globally recognized brand, millions of people are eager to uncover the truth behind the allegations. The outcome of this investigation will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Formula 1 community as well.
For nearly two decades, Horner has been at the helm of the Red Bull Racing team since its acquisition by the energy drink company. Under his leadership, the team has risen to prominence, surpassing even the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes. However, if Horner is found guilty, Red Bull already has a potential replacement in mind. Until the verdict is released, Horner will continue to serve as the Team Principal. Nevertheless, the shadow of his investigation may cast a long-lasting effect on Red Bull’s 2024 campaign.
Undoubtedly, Horner is determined to continue his role as the leader of the Red Bull team. However, only time will reveal whether he can salvage his Formula 1 career. The allegations against him are of significant concern to Red Bull and could have far-reaching consequences for the team in the weeks to come.
