Red Bull have spoken out on claims that Christian Horner is set to be dismissed ahead of the Australian Grand Prix later this month. The long-serving team principal remains under fire despite being cleared of wrongdoing after an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
The female Red Bull employee who raised the complaint has now been suspended by the drinks company. Horner, who strenuously denies wrongdoing, was present in the 2024 season opener in Bahrain and once again performed his team principal duties in Saudi Arabia this weekend

Issues persist behind the scenes, however, as Jos Verstappen, father of Red Bull’s star driver Max, has publicly called for Horner to step down. Throughout the saga, Horner is believed to have retained the support of Red Bull’s majority owner, Chalerm Yoodivhya.
But a report from F1-Insider published on Sunday claimed that the Thai billionaire is beginning to change his tune and, along with fellow prominent Red Bull figures Mark Mateschitz and Oliver Mintzlaff, is minded to dismiss Horner before the Australian Grand Prix on March 24.
