RedBull investigates Christian Horner accused of inappropriate behaviour

RedBull general manager Christian Horner faced a complaint from an employee about his inappropriate behavior, writes AS.com.

According to Dutch media, the team launched an internal investigation after learning of the allegations.

Although Horner strongly denied the allegations, the company decided to launch an independent investigation to clarify the matter.

“This current process is being handled by outside lawyers. The company takes these matters seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as possible.

It would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time,” said a RedBull spokesperson.

50-year-old Christian Horner has been in office since 2005.
