The energy drinks maker Red Bull F1 team’s boss Christian Horner is currently under investigation by Red Bull Austria after allegations of his ‘inappropriate behaviour’ with a Red Bull employee were released. An external lawyer has been outsourced the responsibility to investigate so that a free and fair investigation could take place, whose verdict is anticipated by the end of the week.
The bomb exploded within the Milton Keynes squad last week but was contained within the top management. The Dutch publication De Telegraaf brought the issue into the limelight and exposed the struggle within the Austrian manufacturer. This led to the speculation that a situation may arise of a change of the team principal.
According to multiple sources, a verdict could arrive as early as the end of this week and consequences may follow. Horner and Red Bull’s reputation may face a crisis due to such accusations and the Briton risk losing his post as team boss. If a situation may arise where Horner has to leave Red Bull, he has already identified current sporting director Jonathan Wheatley as a possible successor.
