Red Bull’s Austrian parent company cleared Horner, 50, of any misconduct charges. The revelation came as a relief to Horner, who, throughout the whole process, vehemently denied the allegations. However, it has emerged that his accuser has now been suspended.
Attempting to decode the mystery, a Red Bull Racing spokesperson remained tight-lipped, asserting, “We are unable to comment as it is an internal matter.”
It has been speculated in the media that Geri Horner, the wife of Christian, issued an ultimatum, demanding Horner cut all ties with his accuser and asserting her desire to have the individual “out of the picture.” With strict rules laid down.
Confident Horner
Fresh off the season-opening race in Bahrain, Horner exuded confidence, proclaiming, “I’m absolutely confident” about retaining his position as Red Bull’s helm for the entire season. The team principal, unshaken by the storm of accusations, is set to reclaim the spotlight in an official FIA press conference in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Christian Horner’s Accuser received a legal letter at the start of the week, initiating a five-working-day window to challenge the investigation’s outcome.
Red Bull GmbH’s verdict echoed with a statement, assuring, “The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr. Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.”
