In recent days, Christian Horner seemed to have secured his position within Red Bull, but according to new reports, Horner should still fear for his position. According to ‘F1 insider’, the Thai co-owner of Red Bull has changed his mind and that would be bad news for Horner.
A fairly subdued celebration and some stress and discomfort could be read on the faces of all Red Bull’s key figures in recent days. The ‘Christian Horner case’ clearly has its consequences, although with two double victories in a row for Red Bull, there is little to be noticed on a sporting level for the time being.
The calls for the dismissal of Christian Horner are becoming louder. Formula 1 and the FIA held talks in Bahrain and the storm has not yet completely subsided in Saudi Arabia. Oliver Mintzlaff and Mark Mateschitz have reportedly wanted to fire Christian Horner for some time, but the Thai owner of Red Bull continued to support Christian Horner.
However, this now seems to have changed because according to the German ‘F1 insider’, Christian Horner would now be fired before the next race in Australia. Influential women’s rights activists are said to have launched a call for a boycott on the American market, which is very important to Red Bull.
The Thai owner is also said to now fear that the woman who filed the complaint would take additional civil legal action after the claim was rejected by an external lawyer who investigated the case. If that is the case, details about the internal investigation will undoubtedly be released and that would also generate enormous negative publicity for Red Bull worldwide.
