Harassment Allegations Dismissed After External Review

Red Bull Formula One team principal Christian Horner has been cleared by an independent investigation into accusations of inappropriate behavior. The probe was launched last month after a team member filed a grievance alleging misconduct by Horner, which he denied. Now Red Bull says the claims have been dismissed following a fair and rigorous process. Out of respect for privacy, details of the report remain confidential.

Team Focused on Title Defense

With the matter closed, Red Bull appears ready to defend its constructor championship starting this weekend in Bahrain. The team dominated last season to clinch its sixth title under Horner’s leadership. Preseason tests suggest Red Bull holds a decisive edge again in 2023. Evidently the investigation failed to disrupt preparations or distract star driver Max Verstappen’s quest to repeat as drivers’ champion.

Legacy of Sustained Excellence

Horner has crafted a juggernaut since becoming F1’s youngest team principal in 2005 at age 31. In his long tenure, Red Bull has captured seven individual drivers’ titles across multiple racers. Horner is renowned as one of the most successful principals ever. But the England native builds cars to win rather than courting publicity, letting results do the talking year after year. With his name cleared, expect that quiet winning culture to continue.
