Christian Horner ‘hit by fresh allegations’ amid ‘inappropriate behaviour’ investigation

According to a recent report, Christian Horner has been the target of additional accusations as part of a Red Bull inquiry into alleged “inappropriate behavior.”

The Red Bull team principal was present at an internal meeting last Friday, where Horner allegedly faced “several hours of questioning” from a lawyer about claims that had been published in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, according to AFP.

Since the Austrian company’s founding in 2005, the 50-year-old has served as team principal. He refuted all of the accusations.

He made his first public appearance since the initial accusations were made on Thursday when he attended Red Bull’s 2024 car launch. He said the accusations were a “distraction” and continued, as quoted by BBC Sport: “We are one team.” We’re all one.

“Absolutely [I am the right man to lead Red Bull],” he later declared. I have no doubts about it because I have been doing it for 20 years.

“It’s quite evident. Red Bull’s stance is that everything is operating normally.

“Red Bull has verified the procedure externally and is, of course, investigating the complaints.

“But obviously there is a job to do, and I deny fully the accusations that have been made, and my role continues.”

He additionally stated: “There have been some allegations made, which I fully deny, so that [the investigation] is very much going on in the background whilst preparing for the season ahead, and hopefully it will be concluded in the near future.”

According to a female coworker, the claims of inappropriate behavior now include “engaging in sexual misconduct,” according to De Telegraaf.
