BREAKING: Red Bull release statement on Christian Horner investigation after appeal process concludes
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
Red Bull has dismissed the appeal lodged by an employee regarding the investigation involving team boss Christian Horner.
Off-track matters dominated the headlines for Red Bull early in 2024, after an internal investigation focusing on Red Bull Racing team principal Horner was launched following allegations from a fellow employee of inappropriate behaviour – allegations which Horner strongly and consistently denied.
Christian Horner investigation appeal dismissed by Red Bull
The investigation resulted in the case brought against Horner being dismissed, though the female employee would exercise her right to appeal.
However, Red Bull has now confirmed that the appeal is “not upheld”, bringing an end to the appeal process.
Red Bull GmbH said in a statement: “Earlier this year a complaint raised against Christian Horner was investigated. That complaint was dealt with through the company’s grievance procedure by the appointment of an independent KC who dismissed the grievance.
“The complainant exercised the right to appeal, and the appeal was carried out by another independent KC. All stages of the appeal process have now been concluded, with the final outcome that the appeal is not being upheld.
“The KC’s conclusions have been accepted and adopted by Red Bull. The internal process has concluded.
“The company respects the privacy of all its employees and will not be making further public comment on this matter at this time.
“Red Bull is committed to continuing to meet the highest workplace standards.”
