A covert filming session for Red Bull’s upcoming vehicle has seen Christian Horner in the midst of the ongoing inquiry into the claims of inappropriate behavior made against him.
Horner was questioned last Friday by the independent investigator Red Bull engaged in response to the accusation made by a female employee. Horner vigorously refutes the allegations, and he is still working as the team principal at the moment.
Red Bull, who captured the constructor’s title for the second time in a row the previous season, is getting ready to unveil their new vehicle on Thursday. Prior to that, the group tested their new car on Tuesday at Silverstone during a shakedown filming day.
Two of those filming days are granted to teams annually so they can record footage of their cars in motion. During the shakedown, the RB20 was driven by Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen, the current champion.
Additionally, Horner was reportedly seen at the British Grand Prix’s residence, according to The Sun. Although Horner’s future is uncertain, he was spotted joking about with teammates while they went over pictures and videos from the day of filming.
Additionally, he is anticipated to attend the season opening celebration on Thursday at their Milton Keynes headquarters. It’s unclear at this point if he will stay in his position when preseason training begins in Bahrain on Wednesday.
Although Horner vehemently disputes the accusations, the parent business of the massive energy drink industry is taking them seriously. Since 2005, Horner has been the team principal for Red Bull.
The investigator that Red Bull engaged to handle the case questioned Horner extensively during a hearing that was held last Friday. The squad leader has also appointed a legal council of his own.
