Horner, the team principal of the Red Bull F1 team, is scheduled to attend a hearing
in the UK on Friday in response to allegations of inappropriate behavior made
by a female subordinate. It is understood that Horner will meet with
independent legal representatives who are investigating the matter. The Red
Bull F1 team has not yet issued any official statement regarding the
allegations. Geri Halliwell, Horner’s wife and a British singer, expressed
shock at the accusations against her husband and declared her public support
for him. The Daily Mail reported that Horner has been accused of being
entangled in the internal power struggle within the Red Bull Racing Team. While
Horner was previously protected by Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz, his
position has become more vulnerable following Mateschitz’s passing in October
2022. Supporters of Horner argue that the charges are aimed at removing him
from power and seizing control of Red Bull’s headquarters. According to
available information, Horner has been the team principal of Red Bull Racing
since their entry into F1 in 2005 and has achieved multiple F1 world
championships with drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.
