LONDON: Red Bull boss Christian Horner faced several hours of questioning by a lawyer investigating an allegation of “inappropriate behaviour” at a secret London location on Friday (Feb 9).
But the prospect of Horner’s fate being decided before the Formula 1 world champions unveil their 2024 car next week appears unlikely.
Reports in Britain’s Press Association and the BBC suggest there was still no resolution to the affair after the 50-year-old Briton, who has been team principal since 2005, was interviewed for eight hours.
There was no comment from Red Bull Racing, nor parent company Red Bull, which launched the investigation following an accusation from a female employee – a claim Horner has categorically denied.
The BBC suggested it could take weeks for the matter to be resolved.
Red Bull are going ahead with their car launch next Thursday, which will undoubtedly now be hijacked by the inquiry.
Preseason testing is then scheduled for Bahrain from Feb 21 to Feb 23 with the 2024 season opening in the Gulf state on Mar 3.
