A close associate finally revealed the mental state of the suspended worker who had accused Christian Horner of misconduct. The controversy seemed to have been settled when Red Bull cleared the team leader of all charges. However, leaks and controversies kept it alive. However, as things calmed down, a close associate of the worker who had spoken out against the Red Bull team boss shared her current state.
Red Bull GmbH allowed Christian Horner to walk away without consequences after the independent investigation. However, the Austrian company refused to disclose the investigation report, while Horner declined to make further statements after the verdict. The worker was suspended from the team just a few weeks after Horner was cleared of all charges.
Now, the close associate of the worker has spoken out about the difficult situation she is facing. The associate stated that the suspended worker was deeply distressed, angry, and intimidated due to everything that had happened. Furthermore, she was unable and unwilling to communicate. The worker would even cry whenever questioned about the situation, feeling like she had no one to trust.
The F1 paddock and Red Bull moved on with the case. Christian Horner allegedly paid the worker over $1 million to settle the investigation. However, after the investigation, the worker sought to seek justice. The associate revealed that Horner could go to great lengths to ensure that the case remained confidential.
Consequently, the close associate mentioned that there was a significant amount of missing information regarding the case. The worker was threatened with legal tactics and media pressure and had to succumb to defeat in the case. Additionally, the associate stated that Red Bull may be considering terminating the worker’s employment after the initial suspension.
If these allegations are accurate, the whole case would be deeply disheartening for the Formula 1 community. However, things have returned to normal for Christian Horner at Red Bull. The leading British team boss led Milton Keynes to two wins in the first three races of this season. However, fans and media will be watching Horner’s behavior in the aftermath of the investigation saga.
