Hardly anyone knows what the Christian Horner affair, the boss of the Red Bull Formula 1 team, is about in detail. But no one can overlook what it is being used for: a power struggle. He rages in the world champion’s racing team. Red Bull GmbH may claim that it “continues” to be concerned with the “highest standards” when dealing with team members.
But since the allegation that an employee accused the 50-year-old Englishman of behaving inappropriately towards her was published in a Dutch newspaper, compromising details have regularly leaked out, which are primarily damaging to Horner. None have been confirmed. The source must be found among those who are involved in the so-called enlightenment process. Horner and his lawyer are leaving. Only Red Bull insiders remain. They obviously want to get rid of the Englishman.
