In the days leading up to the practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix, Christian Horner and Jos Verstappen were spotted together in the paddock. However, rumors quickly spread that there was tension between the two due to an investigation into Horner's behavior towards a female employee. The parent company of the Red Bull race team, Red Bull GmbH, eventually cleared Horner of any wrongdoing, but the situation took a turn when alleged evidence from the investigation was leaked to the media and F1 personnel.
Throughout the ordeal, Horner has maintained his innocence and has been joined in Bahrain by his wife, Geri Halliwell, for support. Despite Max Verstappen's impressive victory at the Bahrain GP, the focus shifted back to the off-track drama when Jos Verstappen publicly spoke about the situation, saying that Horner's position was "driving people apart."
Footage of Horner and Jos Verstappen in a heated conversation was shared by Sky Italy, but the exact details of their exchange are unknown. As the investigation continued, there were several key developments, such as Horner being questioned by an independent lawyer for eight hours and fresh allegations emerging in a Dutch newspaper. However, Horner was ultimately cleared of all allegations, with the complainant having the right to appeal.
As the Formula 1 season officially kicked off with the Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen dominated the race and took home the victory. Horner, on the other hand, had to deal with the unwanted attention from the media and public. In a post-race interview, Horner expressed his focus on his team, family, and winning races, while also mentioning the support of his "incredible family" and "incredible team."
While the drama surrounding Horner may have overshadowed the start of the F1 season, it's clear that his focus is on the track and achieving success with his team. As for the exact details of the investigation and the leaked evidence, only time will tell if the situation will be resolved completely or continue to be a topic of discussion in the F1 world.
