The Business F1 magazine made significant claims about the lawyer who conducted the investigation into allegations of misconduct against Red Bull Racing Team Principal, Christian Horner. A team employee accused Horner of wrongdoing, leading to an independent investigation by Red Bull GmbH. However, Business F1 magazine alleges that the lawyer in charge of the investigation had close ties to Horner’s main ally.
According to Business F1 magazine, the lawyer, believed to represent the family of Red Bull’s major shareholder from Thailand, was not truly independent in his role. Instead, they allegedly followed the instructions of the Yoovidhya family. The magazine also claims that the lawyer’s identity and law firm are known, and they have extensive experience in business matters.
The magazine further claims that Chalerm Yoovidhya instructed the lawyer to produce a report clearing Horner of all allegations made by the employee. Business F1 magazine states that the 200-page report mainly focused on Horner’s achievements as Red Bull Racing Team Principal, dedicating only a small portion to the allegations.
Additionally, the magazine suggests that individuals within Red Bull, including Horner himself and others, were aware of Yoovidhya’s connections to the lawyer. However, due to Yoovidhya’s majority ownership in the company, this information could not be publicly disclosed.
It is important to note that there is no official information available regarding the identity of the lawyer involved in the investigation of Christian Horner. Red Bull GmbH did not provide details about the investigation following Horner’s release. Therefore, Business F1 magazine’s report should be approached with caution at this time.
