Christian Horner set to be cleared of allegations of inappropriate behaviour

Christian Horner set to be cleared of allegations of inappropriate behaviour

Christian Horner, the team principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, is on the verge of being cleared of misconduct following an independent investigation  following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female employee prompted an inquiry by team owners Red Bull.

The Times has learned that the 50-year-old Horner is expected to be vindicated by an independent barrister tasked with reviewing the evidence. While an official statement from Red Bull Austria, the team’s parent company, is anticipated later today, this development comes as a significant relief for Horner, especially with the Formula 1 season opener in Bahrain looming this weekend.

The intense media scrutiny that ensued after Red Bull Austria confirmed the internal inquiry about three and a half weeks ago has reportedly taken a toll on Horner, even affecting his personal life with his wife, Geri Halliwell. Despite the strain, Horner expressed gratitude for his wife’s support during the team’s car launch event in Milton Keynes. However, sources suggest the situation has been challenging for her.

The allegations against Horner, which included claims of controlling behaviour, led to a comprehensive ten-hour interrogation by legal counsel in London. Horner vehemently denied any wrongdoing throughout the process and continued his duties amidst the scrutiny. Notably, both Horner and his accuser were observed working at the Milton Keynes office earlier this week.

Pressure from sponsors, notably Ford, intensified the situation, with calls for a swift resolution to the crisis. However, reports suggesting additional allegations of sexual misconduct based on purported messages sent by Horner have not been substantiated by evidence in the complaint itself.

The recent passing of Dietrich Mateschitz, the Red Bull co-founder and a staunch supporter of Horner, has left the team principal more vulnerable. While Horner reportedly retains support from majority owner Chaleo Yoovidhya, opinions within the team hierarchy regarding his future remain divided, potentially leading to changes instigated by Red Bull Austria.

Amidst the uncertainty, reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen refrained from publicly endorsing Horner, emphasizing the importance of trust in the ongoing process. Verstappen highlighted the short-term impact of leadership changes on race performance and stressed the need for clarity in long-term decision-making.

Lewis Hamilton, when asked about Horner’s continued involvement amid ongoing investigations, emphasized the importance of addressing allegations seriously while ensuring a safe and inclusive environment within the sport. He underscored the significance of this moment for Formula 1 to uphold its values moving forward.
