According to reports, the lady who accused Red Bull CEO Christian Horner of “inappropriate behavior” plans to
challenge the investigation’s findings.
Horner, the spouse of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, was found not guilty of any crimes following a month-long,
independent probe into claims made against him by a Red Bull employee who was female.
Red Bull issued the following statement on the eve of the 2024 Formula 1 season: “Red Bull can confirm that the
grievance has been dismissed, and the independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr. Horner is
complete.” An appeal is within the complainant’s rights. Red Bull is certain that the inquiry was conducted in an
impartial, thorough, and fair manner.
The complainant has until later this week to file an appeal, and according to The Sun, she will do so because she
recently switched attorneys.
It comes after Red Bull suspended the accused with full pay prior to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last weekend.
If verified, this most recent information will only serve to feed the crisis that is now overshadowing Formula One.
Texts and photos pertaining to the investigation were released just a day after Red Bull cleared Horner. Although the
50-year-old has always refuted the accusations, his employment is still very much in jeopardy.
The three-time Formula One champion Max Verstappen’s father, Jos Verstappen, has urged for Horner to be fired,
sparking rumors that Max would shockingly leave Red Bull if the team principal stayed in his position.
The owners and management of Red Bull met on Sunday to discuss the company’s predicament, but the Formula
One champions have denied rumors that Horner could be fired before the team’s next race in Australia on March 24.
A team representative stated, “As Christian has stated, he is grateful for the full support of the shareholders and that
remains the case.”
Horner has often expressed gratitude to his family, teammates, and Red Bull’s owners for their support. After the
Bahrain Grand Prix, which kicked off the season, he said, “Yes, Red Bull is united.” We have a great crew here .We
have amazing partners, outstanding supporters, and outstanding shareholders on our side. This kind of outcome
cannot be attained by disunity. My priorities are this team, my spouse, my family, and racing. My priorities are
racing, winning races, and giving it my all. I have the support of an amazing family, an amazing wife, a great team,
and everyone on that squad. Needless to say, it’s not been enjoyable. the unwelcome attention, but the cars are
currently the main subject.
