With another one-two, Red Bull Racing continued their success at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix last weekend. Meanwhile, things continue to rumble off the track, even if Christian Horner would have you believe that everything is fine at the Austrian team. One of the triggers for the unrest was an employee's accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards Horner. The next chapter seems imminent.
After Red Bull GmbH announced via a summary message a few weeks back that Horner had been cleared following an internal investigation, Horner gave several interviews and attended press conferences, commenting on the case. In those interviews, Max Verstappen's team boss emphatically positioned himself in the victim role, citing several times that the whole situation weighed heavily on his wife and children.
'Annoyed with Horner's statements'
These statements have reportedly angered the woman who made the allegations about Horner. German Motorsport-Total.com now reports that the woman, currently suspended by Red Bull Racing, wants to go and tell her side of the story. The woman is preparing a public statement to be shared with the media during the coming week.
In it, she intends to tell her version of the story and address the - in her view - misleading statements Horner has made. It was previously revealed that the woman is considering reporting the matter to the police against the team boss, who is now rumoured to be leaving Red Bull before the upcoming Australian Grand Prix.
