New information has emerged about the F1 scandal.
Dutch De Telegraaf reported that Red Bull team manager Christian Horner sent sexual messages to a female employee of the company. A Swede tells about it Aftonbladet.
According to the newspaper, Horner, 50, sent messages repeatedly and over a long period of time. Horner is married to the Spice Girls By Geri Horner (related to Halliwell) with.
The newspaper also says that Horner tried to cover up the incident and silence the woman with money.
Horner’s lawyers reacted when it became clear that the female employee plans to go public with the messages. Horner’s camp tried to offer the woman 650,000 pounds, or about 700,000 euros, as a settlement.
However, the female employee did not agree to this, but took the messages sent by Horner to the lawyer investigating the case.
Improper behavior
The uproar started when earlier in February Red Bull said that Horner was accused of inappropriate behavior. Red Bull’s Austrian umbrella organization started an internal investigation into the incident.
Horner himself has denied all the accusations. He opened his mouth on Thursday at the presentation of the new Red Bull F1 car.
– Naturally, I completely deny all the accusations. I am involved in finding out this matter and I hope that we will reach the conclusion very quickly, the Brit said to Sky Sports.
The team manager of Red Bull believed that the internal investigation will not lead to punishments. However, he could not reveal what kind of behavior the accusations related to.
– Inevitably this has been a distraction, but we are a very united team, Horner said.
The F1 season starts in two weeks in Bahrain. Tests will be run at the Sakhur track already in a week.
