The 2024 season has been rough for Christian Horner thus far at Red Bull.
Red Bull has responded to rumors that Christian Horner may be fired before this month’s Australian Grand Prix. Even though the long-serving team principal was found not guilty following an inquiry into claims of inappropriate behavior, criticism still surrounds him.
The beverage business has since suspended the female Red Bull employee who made the complaint. Horner, who vehemently denies any wrongdoing, participated in the 2024 season opener in Bahrain and carried out his primary team duties this past weekend in Saudi Arabia.
Behind the scenes, though, there are still problems since Horner should resign, as openly
demanded by Jos Verstappen, the father of Red Bull’s top driver, Max. Horner is said to have maintained the backing of Chalerm Yoodivhya, the majority owner of Red Bull, during the narrative.
However, according to a story from F1 Insider that was released on Sunday, the Thai billionaire is starting to have second thoughts and is planning to fire Horner before the Australian Grand Prix on March 24 along with other well-known Red Bull officials Mark Mateschitz and Oliver Mintzlaff.
Since then, a Red Bull representative has downplayed the shocking allegations, stating: “As Christian has stated, he is thankful for the shareholders’ full support, and that remains the case.”
For Red Bull, the first two races of the 2024 season have been about supremacy on the track and turmoil off it. In Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Verstappen won handily despite a cloud of uncertainty around the defending constructors’ champions.
