Red Bull Clear Christian Horner of Wrongdoing Following Investigation

An independent investigation by Red Bull GmbH has exonerated Christian Horner of any alleged inappropriate behavior towards a female staff member.

Red Bull GmbH, the parent company of the racing team, released a statement confirming the dismissal of the grievance against Horner after a thorough investigation.

Horner, who has been with Red Bull Racing since its inception in 2005, had vehemently denied any wrongdoing throughout the process.

The decision paves the way for Horner to lead Red Bull Racing in Bahrain as they gear up for the season opener after weeks of speculation and uncertainty.

The investigation, shrouded in secrecy, has been a focal point heading into the new Formula 1 season.

Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, emphasized the importance of resolving the matter swiftly, stating that it is crucial for the sport.

Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver for Red Bull, expressed his trust in the ongoing process and stressed the need for unity within the team.

Members of the F1 community, including Zak Brown and Toto Wolff, have underscored the significance of transparency and expediency in handling the allegations.

The involvement of Ford, set to collaborate with Red Bull on an engine project in 2026, adds another layer of complexity to the situation, with the car giant expressing frustration over the handling of the investigation.

As Red Bull Racing prepares for the upcoming season, the resolution of the Horner investigation marks a significant milestone for the team and the sport as a whole.
