Red Bull is anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the investigation into their team principal, Christian Horner, which is expected to wrap up next week. Horner himself attended a crucial meeting on Friday, accompanied by a barrister who is leading the investigation into allegations of "controlling behaviour" made against him by a female Red Bull employee.
This all came to light on Monday, when it was revealed that Horner was being investigated for allegedly exhibiting inappropriate and controlling behavior towards his colleague. Horner, who is 50 years old, has firmly denied these claims and used the meeting on Friday to present his side of the story to the independent lawyer hired by his team to handle the case.
According to reports from The Guardian, the meeting lasted a grueling eight hours and was described as "extensive". However, no resolution or decision was reached during this time, and it was not expected to be. In a statement released after the meeting, Red Bull stated that they would refrain from commenting until the investigation has been completed.
It is believed that the employee in question has already presented her evidence, and Red Bull is eager to resolve the matter swiftly so that it does not overshadow their highly-anticipated car launch on February 15th. However, according to reports from the BBC, the investigation may stretch on until the start of the Formula 1 season in Bahrain on March 1st.
In the wake of these allegations, Horner's wife, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, has been a source of support for her husband. After the news broke on Monday, Red Bull's parent company, Red Bull GmbH, released a statement confirming that they were taking these allegations seriously and had launched an independent investigation with the help of a specialist barrister. They also stated that the investigation would be completed as soon as possible, and that it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.
Despite the difficult situation, Halliwell is said to be standing by her husband and offering him unwavering support. In the midst of all this, Horner is also fighting to save his job as the team principal for Red Bull. It remains to be seen how the investigation will unfold, but for now, all we can do is wait for its conclusion. In the meantime, we can also marvel at the couple's luxurious countryside estates and impressive car collection, which have been featured in various media outlets.
