Christian Horner believes he is the driving force behind Red Bull’s achievements. Recently, the Team Principal has been in the news due to several accusations. A female Red Bull Racing employee accused Horner of acting improperly and inappropriately. An external legal firm was conducted by Red Bull to conduct the investigation. RB GmbH the parent company of Red Bull Racing gave a no-guilty verdict on Horner.

Red Bull’s decision to retain Christian Horner as team principal drew criticism from Jos Verstappen. The father of three-time Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen stated that the team is in danger of being torn apart.
