Red Bull Formula One team principal Christian Horner will face a company hearing on Friday after an unspecified complaint was made against him.
Sources indicated the hearing would be at the team’s Milton Keynes factory. There was no official confirmation from the reigning world champions or the Austrian energy drink giant that owns the team as well as sister outfit Visa Cash App RB (previously AlphaTauri). Red Bull Racing are due to launch their new car on Feb. 15, with testing starting in Bahrain on Feb. 21 and the opening race on March 2. The team have so far made no public comment on the allegations.
The BBC said it understood the complaint related to “inappropriate behaviour of a controlling nature”. Horner, who is married to former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell, has been quoted by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf saying he completely denies the allegations.
Red Bull Austria said in a statement on Monday that they were investigating a complaint against Horner, without giving details. “
