Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner’s hearing into allegatio🐎ns of inappropriate behaviour is toda🔜y.

Horner denies any wrongdoing and has appointed lawyers of his own to defend his position. He told Dutc൩h newspaper De Telegraaf: “I completely deny these claims.”

The 50-year-old is due to be “interrogated in detail” and face “hours of intense queꦯstioning”, according to The Times, on Friday by t💦he King’s Counsel appointed by Red Bull’s parent company to investigate claims widely reported to relate to controlling behaviour.

The hearing willꦐ take place in the UK. It was originally scheduled to be held at Red Bull’s headquarters in Milton Keynes but The Times reported it could be moved to London amid growing media atten๊tion.

The c💫omplaint is understood to have ไcome from a female member of Red Bull staff, who has already been questioned as part of the process and is thought to have passed on evidence.

Red Bull confirmed an independent investigation ✃into the allegations had been launched on Monday. Horner was reportedly "caught completely by surprise" by the news.

When will we hear the outcome?

T🅺he independent barrister is expected to review the evidence over the weekend before advising the team’s owners of the appropriate course of action early next week.

Red Bull are said to be keen to resolve the situation as soon as possibl♚e so that it does not overshadow the launch of their 2024 F1 challenger - the RB20 - next Thursday (Februaಞry 15).

What about Horner’s future at Red Bull?

There has been lots of talk about Horner’s future and a possible 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:power play behind the scenes at Red Bull to oust him - but this remain꧋s speculꦉation.
