According to reports, Christian Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull, will face questioning from a new independent lawyer regarding allegations of inappropriate behavior. Earlier this year, the 50-year-old man was accused by an employee in Milton Keynes, but was cleared of all charges after an independent investigation. However, it seems that Horner’s case will be revisited in the near future.
The newspaper The Sun revealed that the employee will be interviewed again in the coming days. It is worth noting that Red Bull had suspended her when Horner was initially cleared. However, Red Bull GmbH has now appointed a new lawyer to handle the case. Previously, there were rumors that the external lawyer investigating Horner had ties to the majority Thai shareholder of Red Bull, Chalerm Yoovidhya.
It is believed that Yoovidhya is a strong supporter of Horner within the Austrian company. However, neither Horner nor Red Bull have addressed these speculations. If true, the involvement of a new lawyer could lead to a fairer process for the employee.
Red Bull GmbH has not provided any information about the allegations against Horner or the details of the investigation, which has drawn criticism from fans and critics. Transparency has been an issue in Formula 1 recently, and even a former world champion from Red Bull has called for more information to be disclosed.
According to a source from The Sun, Red Bull is eager to end this saga as soon as possible. They are willing to be transparent once a new verdict is reached and do not want to compromise the investigation into the allegations against Horner in any way.
Si l’affaire est rouverte dans les prochains jours, Christian Horner pourrait une fois de plus devenir le centre d’attention dans le paddock. Il a maintenu son innocence depuis que les allégations ont émergé il y a quelques mois. Les fans seront impatients d’entendre les conclusions du nouvel avocat concernant le patron de l’équipe Red Bull.
