Red Bull Racing, the owner of Red Bull Racing, has launched an independent inquiry into alleged misconduct by its team principal, Christian Horner. The energy beverage company became aware of the accusations and is currently conducting an investigation. Despite this, Horner will continue to fulfill his role as team principal until the investigation is concluded. A spokesperson for Red Bull stated, “Upon learning of recent allegations, the company initiated an independent inquiry. We take these matters very seriously, and the investigation will be completed as soon as possible. We are unable to provide further comment at this time.”
According to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, the investigation is focused on Horner’s behavior towards a specific member of Red Bull Racing. Horner adamantly denies these allegations. The 50-year-old has served as Red Bull team principal since the team’s inception as a full constructor in 2005. During his tenure, the team has achieved remarkable success, securing six constructors’ championships and seven drivers’ championships, including the last three consecutive drivers’ titles for Max Verstappen.
