As the probe taints his reputation, Christian Horner won’t be in Red Bull’s employment again.
Christian Horner is scheduled to appear in an independent hearing on claims of inappropriate behavior. He has refuted any misconduct.
Due to an inquiry into his unethical behavior, former Formula One driver Giedo van der Garde thinks Christian Horner may depart Red Bull as early as next week, calling the Austrian team’s reputation “a disgrace.” On Friday, a hearing regarding a complaint lodged against the fifty-year-old will take place.
Horner claims he refutes the accusations, although Red Bull has not confirmed the specifics of the complaint. According to the BBC, it has to do with acting in an improper and dominating manner.
Van der Garde, a former Sauber driver, believes that the accusations’ nature represents a “blemish” on the Red Bull brand. Horner’s departure by the time Red Bull unveiled their RB20 car on February 15 has his support.
Of course, Red Bull has internal supervision over Horner. On his podcast DRS: De Race Show, Van der Garde stated, “Believe me, Horner will not be there presenting when that presentation comes around next week.

This is clearly theatrical for Red Bull, and they also have such presentations the next week. Red Bull will return with an extremely strong vehicle, so they should have a fantastic season overall. However, this does some damage to both the team and the brand.
Since 2005, when Red Bull entered the Formula One World Championship, Horner has served as the team’s principal. He has been a part of Max Verstappen’s three consecutive world titles and has overseen six Constructors’ Championship victories.
However, his future is currently uncertain. Red Bull claims that Horner will be questioned by an outside attorney and that they are taking the claims very seriously.. Other pertinent parties have reportedly previously been questioned about the claims.
