Red Bull, Horner is alone (or almost)
“We take this matter extremely seriously“. And in Red Bull on the Horner case they are keeping their commitment, also because it is something serious. The latest updates see the British man guilty of having sent messages of a sexual nature to a Red Bull employee, who reported the facts last December at the team's Austrian headquarters.
To Horner, who also attempted to buy the girl's silence with an offer of over 700 thousand eurosthere would be only one great ally left among the Red Bull top management: in an increasingly tense internal climate, his family would be at his side Yoovidhyawhich holds 51% of the company.
The rest of the Austrian headquarters, second de Telegraaf, he would rather give up Horner even at the cost of a further internal earthquake with heavy consequences on the sporting (for Red Bull) and human side.
Horner was questioned last Friday in London by the independent lawyer hired by Red Bull. The 50-year-old denied any wrongdoing and refused to leave his job as team principal, but the employee documented the sexual messages on an app in detail. Messages that the lawyer saw and which he evidently asked the Briton to account for. But he didn't want to answer. Now Horner has his back against the wall and has only one hold. We'll see if it will be enough to avoid the worst from a work point of view.
