Investigation entrusted to an external lawyer
“Transgressive behavior”. This is the accusation leveled at Christian Horner, which was placed under investigation by Red Bull Austria following what was declared by an employee who was most likely female. The 'bomb' within the Milton Keynes team exploded last week, but it remained limited to the level of Red Bull's top management without reaching the entire organisation.
Yesterday during the F1 Commission meeting in London the fact that Christian Horner is under investigation becamepublic domain' due to the report published by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, a non-random timing according to journalist Erik Van Haren. Red Bull has entrusted the investigation to an external lawyer who will have to clarify what happened.
Christian Horner seriously risks having to abandon the post of team principal occupied throughout the history of Red Bull. According to what was reported by the German newspaper Auto Motor und Sport Friday will be the day of 'judgment' as interrogations of the parties involved are scheduled. If the accusations were to be confirmed, it would be impossible for Horner to continue his working relationship with Red Bull, who has already identified current sporting director Jonathan Wheatley as his possible successor.
