Jos, the father of Max Verstappen, was in the paddock on what ended up being a very eventful Thursday for Red Bull. After a protracted investigation, Christian Horner was found not to have engaged in any inappropriate behavior, but his future is still a contentious issue.
Statement from Christian Horner following “messages and photos leaked”
Zak Brown shares Toto Wolff’s concerns while dismissing claims made by Christian Horner.
At the beginning of the day, Horner was beaming as he carried on with business as usual following the dismissal of a female Red Bull employee’s complaint by the beverage corporation. The 50-year-old had been performing his F1 duties in an unsettling environment while Red Bull hired an outside barrister to prepare their conclusions.
Another bombshell struck the circuit on Thursday afternoon when an unknown source provided media a Google Drive folder purportedly containing conversations and pictures that Horner had given to an unidentified individual.
“I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, but to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations,” the Red Bull team principal retorted.
I fully cooperated with the independent investigation throughout, showing respect for its integrity. An independent specialized barrister carried out a comprehensive and impartial inquiry, which has finished with the complaint being dismissed.”
After Thursday’s practice sessions in Bahrain, Horner was spotted exiting the Red Bull garage, according to The Times. He then stopped to speak briefly with F1 great David Coulthard before entering.
