Red Bull is looking into a report of suspected “inappropriate behaviour” against their Formula One team head,
Christian Horner, according to a statement from the Austrian energy drink corporation.
The Briton oversaw the most dominant season in Formula One history last year, with Max Verstappen winning his
third title in a succession and the team won 21 of 22 races.
“After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation,” Red
Bull said in a statement on Monday.
“This process, which is already underway, is being handled by an independent specialist barrister. The company
takes these issues very seriously, and the inquiry will be finished as soon as reasonably possible.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”
According to The Times, Horner, 50, was accused of inappropriate behavior by a female coworker who filed a
complaint with the team’s parent business.
The squad made no response, but Horner, who is married to former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell, told Dutch
newspaper De Telegraaf that he disputes the allegations.
Horner has led seven driver world championships and six constructor crowns.
Red Bull will unveil their next car on February 15, ahead of the new season, which begins on March 2 in Bahrain.
