Red Bull is investigating team boss Christian Horner. Due to personal misconduct. According to the Daily Mail, he got a little too close to an employee. According to “auto motor und sport” and Sky Sports UK, a hearing for those involved will take place in Milton Keynes on Friday.
Time is running out. The team world champion will present the new car on February 15, after which testing will take place in Bahrain (21 – 23 February) and the first GP of the year (2 March) will begin. With Horner as Red Bull team boss?
The Brit would have been “kindly advised to resign” behind the scenes, writes Motorsport-Total.com. Horner reportedly rejected that suggestion. The 50-year-old denies the allegations. “It’s all nonsense,” he said at the team bosses’ meeting in London on Monday.
Red Bull team boss for 19 years
Red Bull without Christian Horner? This is somehow unthinkable. Since March 6, 2005 (GP of Australia), the then newly established racing team has started in Formula 1 with support. Horner has been there since minute one – so for 19 years – as team boss.
Ferrari tried to poach him during the Canadian GP in mid-June 2022. «He stays with us! “It took us a long night and a lot of money to stop him from moving to Ferrari,” Red Bull Motorsport director Helmut Marko told Blick afterwards.
Binotto, Szafnauer and Wheatley possible successors
Horner is a tough guy, unwilling to compromise, a self-centered person. Ex-Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto, who, like Otmar Szafnauer (Alpine team boss until last summer) and Jonathan Wheatley (Red Bull team manager), is already being brought into play as a potential successor, would not even have wanted a rusty propeller. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff? I can not stand him. At the end of last season he started an internal power struggle with Marko.
Under Horner, Red Bull celebrated 113 victories, 95 pole positions, seven drivers (4x Sebastian Vettel and 3x Max Verstappen) and six team titles in 369 GP participations. Nevertheless: he is currently only number four in the team. Adrian Newey, Marko and Verstappen are in the sun in front of him.
A consolation: King Charles III was ennobled in 2023. made him a CBE (Commander of the British Empire). “We are all so proud of you,” Geri Horner (née Halliwell) said, almost bursting with pride in her Instagram post. The 51-year-old singer (“Spice Girls”) has been married to Christian Horner since 2015 and their son Montague was born in early 2017. From his previous relationship with Beverley Allen comes Olivia, born in October 2013. In the spring of 2014 he got together with his current wife.
Woman “devastated”
“The balance between the beloved Formula 1 and the pleasant private life is damn difficult,” he once said. There’s a lot at stake right now: his job, his reputation, and maybe even his marriage. The Daily Mail claims to have heard that Geri Horner is “devastated” by the allegations, but she wants to publicly support her husband.
