According to the report, the team leader of Max Verstappen and the boss of the F1 World Champion team, Horner, is under investigation by his employer Red Bull for alleged misconduct towards a coworker. The company’s CEO, Oliver Mintzlaff, has taken a personal interest in the matter.
To ensure an impartial investigation, the team has enlisted the help of an external legal expert. This suggests that the issue is controversial and requires thorough examination. Only time will reveal whether Horner will face termination or suspension pending the resolution of the case.
When approached for comment, Horner vehemently denied the allegations, stating, “I completely reject these claims.”
In response to the allegations, Red Bull has released a statement acknowledging the seriousness of the matter. The company has initiated an independent investigation, led by an external specialist barrister. The investigation will be concluded as soon as possible, and further comments will not be made at this time.
Horner, a 50-year-old Englishman, is married to Spice Girl Geri (Halliwell) Horner and has been the team principal of Red Bull Racing since the team’s entry into Formula 1 in 2005.
