    Possibly photoshopped; probably so, given the source.

    Maybe the woman in question is payed by a rival team to make these claims in a bid to create chaos at RB. :p

    I’d much prefer Ferrari win by improving its own game on track rather than rely on Netflix-worthy drama in the board rooms of its rivals.

    So much noise on a search for Horner news. Is there any clarification of the actual accusations yet?

    Absolutely nothing. I strongly believe there's really no story here actually.

    Probably some distractions from the Andretti application.

    That would be my preference too, but anything that harms their rivals is also ok with me.

    Nothing. Unless you count some guy's next door neighbor's room mate's cousin's best friend "heard" from a "source" outlining what actually occured.
    Just another day of "trial by media"

    Autosport is reporting that Ford is increasing the pressure to resolve the matter. Maybe they should apply pressure to selling F150 Lightnings that people apparently don’t want.

    Frankly, until they decided to throw their weight around the average Joe probably had no idea that Ford is even involved with Red Bull.

    I doubt there's even any matter to solve at all.

    Whoever at Red Bull GmbH started this investigation must be bitting his nails by now.
    So far, this sad affair has only attracted bad publicity and brought absolutely no resolution.

    The Red Bull-Ford partnership is a long term project, just like the AUDI-Sauber.
    Everything is played behind closed doors, and nothing much will happend until 2026.

    If Red Bull crushes the opposition this weekend it will become a non issue.

    Exactly. Horner is expendable. He is not the team not even close to being the total leader. The amount of drama by some on this here is hilarious. This is a RedBull Corporate, board directed investigation. They have 1 timeline - Their own! They owe nothing to anyone. The business of RedBull continues racing, sports, drinks etc. Horner matters zero overall. If they find him clean of any wrong doing what changes, nothing. If they dont keep him, nothing changes there either lol.

    Exactly. So why did they decide to break cover over this? I know the answer but I’d have to post it in Pc&R.

    https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/13081704/christian-horner-investigation-into-red-bull-team-principal-expected-to-be-resolved-before-bahrain-gp

    An investigation into Red Bull team principal Christian Horner for alleged inappropriate behaviour is likely to be resolved before this week's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

    Earlier in February, Horner was placed under investigation by the F1 team's Austrian parent company Red Bull GmbH following an allegation of inappropriate behaviour being made against him by a female colleague.

    The external investigation carried out by a specialist barrister, which included an interview with Horner on February 9, is understood to have now been completed.

    Horner has denied the allegations throughout the process and was present at reigning constructors' champions 2024 car launch and pre-season testing in Bahrain last week.

    Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the ongoing investigation into his Red Bull counterpart Christian Horner over alleged inappropriate behaviour is 'an issue for all of Formula 1'.
    The extensive report, which is thought to run well over 100 pages, is now in the hands of the Red Bull GmbH board, who will ultimately decide whether Horner remains in his dual roles of team principal and chief executive.

    A decision is expected to be made and communicated on either Tuesday or Wednesday, when Horner is scheduled to return to Bahrain from the UK. The opening practice sessions of the 2024 F1 season take place on Thursday, ahead of Saturday's race.

    While the saga has played out in public with details repeatedly emerging from reports in the Dutch media, there is no expectation that a decision over Horner's future will be presented with major detail.

    Today it"s very easy to create a storm-in-a-tea-cup. It can be lucrative too. Men are on the backfoot across all social classes.

    The investigation into Horner is complete. A statement will be issued this Wednesday or Thursday when Horner is at the Bahrain circuit.

    I'm sure Horner is very much aware of where this is headed. If he is going to Bahrain with the team, that means he is clear. I can't imagine they would fly him down there with all the negativity for being guilty. Very much an unwanted distraction, more than it already is.
