An investigation conducted by Red Bull Racing's parent company has concluded regarding allegations of inappropriate behavior by Formula 1 principal Christian Horner. The company confirmed that the grievance against Horner has been dismissed following the completion of an independent investigation. The allegations were initially reported by Dutch news outlet De Telegraaf in February.
Red Bull GmbH stated that they are confident in the fairness, rigor, and impartiality of the investigation into the alleged behavior by Horner. The company mentioned that the complainant has the right to appeal the decision. The investigation report is considered confidential to protect the privacy of all parties involved.
Red Bull emphasized its commitment to maintaining high workplace standards and respecting the confidentiality of the investigation process. Horner, who serves as the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team principal and is married to Spice Girl singer Geri Halliwell-Horner, denied the allegations when they surfaced earlier this month.
Horner expressed his denial of the allegations and mentioned that he is cooperating with the ongoing process. The specific details of the allegations have not been publicly disclosed. Red Bull had appointed an external specialist barrister to conduct the investigation, highlighting the seriousness with which the company approaches such matters.
Horner acknowledged the support he has received from his wife, Geri Halliwell, throughout this challenging period. The couple, who met in 2009 at a racing event, got engaged in 2014 and married in 2015. They have a son together, Montague, who was born in 2017. Additionally, they each have children from previous relationships.
