Christian Horner has been pictured making his way to a crunch hearing following an accusation of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ at Red Bull’s Formula One team.
The 50-year-old, who has been the Red Bull boss since its founding in 2005, was photographed leaving his home in North London for the internal hearing which is expected to take place at the team’s Milton Keynes headquarters.
Red Bull – the Austrian energy drinks company which owns the team – has said it launched an independent investigation after it was made aware of the allegations.
The allegation has been made by another member of staff for the British-based team which last year took Max Verstappen to his third consecutive world championship.
Horner, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, strongly refutes the accusation and said: ‘I completely deny these claims.’
A source within the Red Bull team said the claims related to ‘controlling behaviour’. It is alleged that this was towards a female colleague. Horner has also described the accusations as ‘nuts’, in a message protesting his innocence to MailOnline.
This is a breaking news story. More to follow.
