A new twist in the big F1 scandal Red Bull

Red Bull announced that it has laid off its employees. According to Sky Sports, the woman was notified when she arrived at the stable’s factory in Milton Keynes.

There has been a new turn in the big uproar of the F1 series and its mighty team Red Bull.

Red Bull announces that it has suspended the woman who accused the team manager Christian Horner for inappropriate behavior.

– The company cannot comment on this internal matter, the team spokesperson said According to the BBC.

On February 5, the parent company of the Red Bull team started an independent investigation after a female employee of the team had accused Horner of inappropriate behavior.

On February 28, an internal investigation cleared Horner of all charges and he was allowed to continue as Red Bull’s team manager. The 50-year-old Englishman has led the Austrian team since 2005, i.e. the entire time that Red Bull has been an F1 team.

Recap: The earlier stages of the Christian Horner uproar

According to Sky Sports The woman who accused Horner had returned to work in Milton Keynes, England, on Monday. He had been relieved of his duties for the time being, but is still receiving full pay.

After last weekend’s season opener in Bahrain, Horner said he was “absolutely confident” he would continue in charge of Red Bull.

The case took new turns immediately after Horner was acquitted, as on February 29, an anonymous entity sent an email to 149 people. There were F1 journalists, F1 team managers and, for example, the chairman of the FIA Mohammed Bin Sulayem.

Attached to the e-mail is claimed to be a very questionable exchange of messages between Horner and a female employee of the stable, but the messages have not been proven to be authentic.

Sky Sports says that the person who made the complaint about Horner received the legal text about Horner’s investigation at the beginning of this week. He has five days to appeal its results.

“An independent investigation into the allegations against Mr Horner has been completed and Red Bull can confirm that the complaint has been dismissed. The plaintiff has the right to appeal. Red Bull trusts that the investigation has been fair, strict and impartial, Red Bull announced last week.

– The investigation report is confidential and contains private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, so we will not comment further out of respect for all parties involved.

Horner is the longest-serving team manager at the moment. He has been able to celebrate seven drivers’ championships and six manufacturers’ World Championship titles.
