Allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made against Red Bull’s Team Principal Christian Horner earlier this month by a female employee. The Englishman has categorically denied all of the accusations after the Austrian beverage giants that own the team announced an internal investigation.

Despite the drama, Christian Horner was recently seen at Silverstone with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez attending Red Bull’s 2023 car launch. While speaking with the media, he pointed out that it is ‘business as usual’ at the team, and the investigation hasn’t produced any complications on the side.

The support from within the business, and our partners within the industry, has been overwhelming. At moments of uncertainty, it brings teams together and I have never seen a team more together or more supportive than it is.

I am committed to this team, I have been here since the beginning, and I have built this team. There have been highs and lows along the way, with 113 race wins, we have won seven drivers’ world championships, and six constructors’ world championships in 19 seasons. That’s in the history books now but it’s what lies ahead that’s important. My focus is on the future.
Christian Horner said.

Red Bull is anticipating a strong season with the RB20 car, having dominated the past two years, winning drivers’ and constructors’ titles. Horner, the youngest team principal in the sport, is now the longest-serving on the current grid.
