As reported by the publication F1-Insider, the team principal of the Austrian Formula 1 team Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, may face legal consequences for "inappropriate behavior".
The 50-year-old Briton is accused of sending a significant number of intimate messages to an employee. Horner allegedly offered the woman 650,000 pounds Sterling in exchange for her silence. The victim has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Horner.
According to The Times, the future of the British official will be determined by the management of Red Bull Racing at the start of next week. It was noted that the Thai owners of Red Bull are supporting Horner.
The first race of the Formula 1 season will take place in Bahrain from February 29 to March 2. Red Bull's drivers include reigning 2023 season champion Max Verstappen from the Netherlands and Mexican vice-champion Sergio Perez.
