Christian Horner Spotted in Bahrain Amid Shocking Scandal Allegations
Christian Horner has been spotted in Bahrain as he is set to lead Red Bull on its first day of testing for the 2024/25 Formula One season. The 50-year-old has said he plans to continue with “business as usual” despite the bombshell allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” hanging over his head. Let’s dive into the details of this developing story.
Red Bull Boss Christian Horner Faces Allegations of “Inappropriate Behaviour”
The Red Bull Racing boss is under investigation over the shock allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female colleague and explosive claims that he sent “sexually suggestive” texts. Even though he has categorically denied the claims, Red Bull are continuing to investigate them and have already put him through an eight-hour grilling.
Bahrain Appearance Amidst Scandal: What It Means for Horner
Horner is thought to have arrived in the Gulf kingdom overnight to watch his star driver Max Verstappen take to the wheel of the RB20 for the first time around an F1 track. He is also expected to attend a press conference at the testing event alongside other F1 bosses.
Support and Denial: Horner’s Response to the Allegations
Horner has already been present at secret Red Bull test runs and the RB20 launch event – where he spoke about the allegations. In one interview, he praised wife Geri Horner and said: “I have a very supportive family and a very supportive wife. My focus has been on the job and the season ahead. I’m not going to talk about private matters, but my family have been hugely supportive.”
Geri was reportedly reduced to tears as news broke of the scandal just days ago – but privately insisted he did nothing wrong. On Sunday she was seen standing by her husband at a horse racing event in Badbury Rings, Dorset.
F1 Statement and Moving Forward
F1 released a statement on Sunday saying: “We hope that the matter will be clarified at the earliest opportunity after a fair and thorough process. We have noted Red Bull has instigated an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing. We will not comment further at this time.”
