The hearing concerning Christian Horner’s alleged inappropriate and domineering behavior has concluded without a conclusion.
A lawyer questioned the Red Bull team manager for several hours on Friday over allegations regarding his conduct toward a female employee.
“It would not be appropriate to comment until the investigation is completed,” a Red Bull spokeswoman stated.
Horner has refuted the allegations made to the foreign Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
It’s uncertain if the issue will be settled in time for Red Bull’s 2024 launch, which is scheduled to take place at their Milton Keynes factory on February 15 and feature the unveiling of their new vehicle.
Red Bull is still working on making the event happen.
There are even questions, and Horner’s probe might take weeks.
The Horner controversy will undoubtedly overshadow Red Bull’s introduction. Horner is unlikely to be able to respond to inquiries about it, even if he is present, although he and drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will likely be the main targets of these queries.
The incident is occurring against a backdrop of stories of division and conflict within Red Bull, including assertions that Jos Verstappen, the father of Red Bull’s three-time world champion Max, and racing advisor Helmut Marko had turned against Horner.
Verstappen, Marko, and Red Bull have not yet commented on any of these issues.
Verstappen and Red Bull will begin the season as strong favorites to win a fourth straight world title despite the setback.
