Red Bull team manager Christian Horner is to be investigated. More precisely, light must be shed on the team manager's behavior towards his employees.
A complaint about inappropriate behavior now risks costing Red Bull's team principal his job. In any case, the team has initiated an internal investigation based on the complaint.
This is what the Dutch De Telegraaf writes on Monday this week.
– After being made aware of the recent allegations (directed at Christian Horner, ed.), the company has initiated an independent investigation into the matter.
– This process, which is already underway, is carried out by an external specialist lawyer. The company takes these matters extremely seriously, and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible, says Red Bull, who does not wish to comment on the matter further.

The main character himself, the 50-year-old Christian Horner, refuses to say anything about the matter at all. Other than him rejecting them.
– I totally reject the accusations, he says to the Dutch newspaper.
According to the English newspaper Daily Mail, the complaint should be about behavior of a 'sexual nature'. Likewise, a Red Bull employee must have told the newspaper that Christian Horner behaves 'incredibly controlling'.
If Christian Horner smokes on the new charge, he will be completely out of Formula 1 for the first time since 2005. At Red Bull, he has helped secure seven World Championship titles and six constructors' championships.
