Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner is facing a formal hearing by independent legal representatives on Friday following allegations made against him regarding his behavior. Dutch newspaper outlet De Telegraaf disclosed these claims, prompting Red Bull to launch an independent investigation. The investigation is currently underway and being conducted by an external lawyer with expertise in the field. Red Bull is taking these allegations very seriously and aims to complete the investigation as soon as possible. At this time, no further comments will be made.
The nature of the allegations against Horner remains undisclosed, but it has been reported that he will meet with the external legal representatives at the end of the week. These developments come as Red Bull prepares for the upcoming 2024 Formula 1 season, with the unveiling of its RB20 scheduled for February 15. Despite the allegations, Horner has vehemently denied them, and he continues to fulfill his responsibilities as Red Bull Team Principal. He recently attended the F1 Commission meeting held in London on Monday.
