Christian Horner grilled for 'eight hours' by lawyer as probe may go on 'into 2024 season'


A decision on the future of Red Bull boss Christian Horner may not be made until after next month’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, according to reports. The 50-year-old is being probed over allegations of inappropriate and controlling behaviour, which he denies, following a complaint by a Red Bull employee to the team’s parent company.

Horner was grilled by a top independent lawyer at a hearing on Friday, which took place at a secret location after Red Bull ditched plans to stage the interview at their Milton Keynes base. There had been a strong desire to conclude the matter before the launch of Red Bull’s new car on Thursday, but it seems as though Horner’s future could remain in doubt for a number of weeks.

A final decision could be delayed until after next month’s Bahrain Grand Prix, according to the Press Association, with Horner due to face subsequent rounds of questioning as he looks to prove his innocence.
