Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, was embroiled in controversy after being accused of inappropriate conduct by a female employee. Despite being cleared of all charges following an independent inquiry, the incident caused tensions within the team. Now, the producer of the show has confirmed that Horner’s investigation will be covered in the seventh season of Drive to Survive.
The ongoing investigation surrounding Christian Horner garnered significant attention in the Formula 1 community. Many speculate that the show’s immense popularity played a role in the heightened interest surrounding Horner’s allegations.
