Following Red Bull’s probe into accusations of improper conduct against the Formula One Principal, Christian Horner, the alleged victim has been put under suspension according to the understanding of the PA news agency. After the parent company of Red Bull Racing, GmbH, announced the dismissal of the charges against Horner (age 50) last Wednesday, he was allowed to retain his position. The reported suspended individual, an employee of the Milton Keynes squad, is said to be receiving full wages during the suspension.
A representative from Red Bull Racing said that they cannot provide any opinion since it concerns internal affairs. Horner, who has consistently denied the allegations, is expected to return to the limelight in Sauidi Arabia at an official FIA press conference at a local time of 6.30pm (3.30pm Irish time) on Thursday.
Horner voiced his complete optimism last weekend following the season’s initial Bahrain race, anticipating to hold his current role as the Red Bull leader for the rest of the season. As per the understanding, a female staff member, who is suspected to have resumed her duties on Monday, has faced suspension due directly to the Red Bull probe.
It is considered that the protester got a legal letter at the start of the week, now having a timespan of five business days to contest the investigation’s outcome which has projected a titanic cloud over both Red Bull and the entire sports world.
The findings of the impartial and careful investigation into the charges against Horner were revealed to be complete by a declaration from Red Bull GmbH last Wednesday and Red Bull was able to validate the dismissal of the charges.
The protester still holds the appeal right. Red Bull is certain about the integrity of their investigation. The private details of all involved parties, including those who supported during the investigation, are confidential in the report. Hence, in respect to all concerned, no further comments will be made and Red Bull will continue its effort to maintain the highest workplace standards.
