It has not dominated the newspapers for some time now, but the scandal surrounding Christian Horner has still not fully come to an end. At the moment, it is unclear whether the team boss is innocent after the allegation of inappropriate behaviour. A second investigation may show that Horner is indeed guilty. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, clarification is imminent.
At the beginning of the year, it was revealed that Horner had been accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a female colleague. Whatsapp messages were then leaked, suggesting that the team boss and the woman might have been having an affair. After an internal investigation - conducted by an external lawyer, Horner was acquitted of all allegations.
The woman in question was not satisfied with this and appealed the result. In recent months, a new investigation (appeal) has been carried out, although it is not known by whom. According to the Daily Mail, the outcome of that investigation is expected very soon.
Horner dined with the British press
The newspaper states that Horner is still confident he will be okay. Horner had invited British F1 journalists to breakfast at Red Bull Racing. He then sat down with the media for an informal breakfast, according to the Daily Mail. This suggests, of course, that Horner isn't too worried about losing his position.
