Red Bull in SHAMBLES after NEW  Investigation Details Emerged!   Intro Could the Red Bull   empire be about to come crashing down? Unless you  have been living under a rock these last few days,   you will have seen Christian Horner is  being investigated by Red Bull over some  

Alleged inappropriate conduct and it is a  process that could well cost him his job.   What’s happened? As if 2024 in the F1 world could not   get any crazier, it was revealed on February 5  that Red Bull team principal and CEO Christian  

Horner was under investigation by his own team. Dutch journalist Erik van Haren was the first   to break the story and was told by the  company that owns Red Bull Racing that   they were taking the matter “very seriously” Horner himself has denied it and understandably,  

Red Bull have been unwilling to give out too  many details given it is an internal matter.   What do we know? Despite’s Red Bull’s hesitancy,   there are some details we know. Firsty, the  investigation was started by Red Bull GmbH,  

The Austrian company that produces the energy  drink and owns the Formula 1 team. Crucially,   Horner is not CEO of this company built  instead a man named Oliver Mintzlaff is.   Mintzlaff was appointed to oversee the  sporting ventures of the team following  

The death of Diretrich Matezschitsz in  2022 and it is said Mintzallff is the   one pushing to find out what really went on. This is nothing surprising of course and if   a complaint was made about any senior  figure, a similar process would most  

Likely start but you cannot accuse Red  Bull of going about it half-heartedly.   Their first step was to appoint an independent  lawyer who set about gathering facts on the cae   and after days of work, a date was set for  Horner’s first meeting with this person.  

Horner’s London meeting Friday February 9 was established   as the day Horner would sit down with the  lawyer and give his side of the story but   as soon as that date was revealed, the  media interest went through the roof.  

The original venue of Red Bull’s factory in  Milton Keynes was changed and instead the two   met at an undisclosed London location  and it was not a brief chat either.   A man who has been in the loop more than most is  Sky Sports’ Craig Slater who revealed just what  

Took place in that extraordinary meeting. Slater said on Friday: “Christian Horner   has been in this interview situation  since about 10 o’clock this morning.   I expect it to come to an end at about 6pm. “This is the first interview he’s had since we  

Learned about this case. A female employee and  colleague at Red Bull Racing has accused Horner   of controlling and coercive behaviour. I don’t  expect an outcome or resolution by the end of   today. I have been led to understand  that this could be a long process.”  

Understand everyone is dying to know  what was said but also more importantly,   when a result may be given. When will we know the result?   As for when a result could be given,  that is also up in the air but again  

Slater had more of an idea than most. He said: “I have been guided away from   expecting an outcome to this investigation  today.I think you’re right not to call it a   hearing which is what it’s been mostly described  as. I think this is more of a meeting and an  

Interview by the investigators with Christian  Horner which will be, as I understand it,   in a central London location today rather than  at the team’s headquarters in Milton Keynes.   So I’m not expecting an outcome today. “Clearly it is a very significant day.   We know that Red Bull are taking this  investigation very seriously. There’s  

An allegation of inappropriate behaviour by  Christian Horner by a female member of staff   and I understand that relates to controlling  and potentially coercive behaviour.That’s what   we’re looking at here in terms of what  Christian Horner is being accused of.  

“He has emphatically denied the allegations and  is going to work to clear his name but this could   be the first step, I’ve been led to understand,  in a process which could go on for a while.”   It was later reported that a resolution  may not even come out until close to the  

Bahrain Grand Prix at the start of March. What will happen if Horner is found guilty?   The next question on everyone’s mind is what  will happen to Horner should he be found guilty?   The investigation is a major threat  to Horner’s role at the team,  

Which he has held since 2005 and become the  face of the championship-winning outfit.   Horner’s role also extends past  just being a team principal with the   50-year-old also the CEO of the racing outfit. Reports in Germany and Austria have suggested  

There is pressure from above for Horner to  voluntarily step down, although ESPN have   suggested Horner has no intention of doing so. Crucially, Horner was not suspended by the company   and has worked at the team’s Milton Keynes office  since news of the investigation broke on Monday.  

But without question, a negative outcome would  almost certainly make Horner’s place untenable and   his 19-year spell at Red Bull would be over. Who would replace Christain Horner?   If Horner is asked to leave, Red Bull then have  the daunting prospect of replacing one of the most  

Successful team principals in F1 history.  So who on earth do they get to do tjhat?   An obvious contender is Jonathan Wheatley who  has served as sporting director for the team   since joining from Renault in 2006. The nature  of his current job leds itself most easily to the  

Position of team principal and if Red Bull were  looking for some of Wheatley’s beat qualities,   they do not have to look very far. Among the great many jobs that fall   under the aegis of the Sporting Director, pit stop  performance is that which has the most resonance  

For racing fans. Under Wheatley’s guidance, the  Red Bull Racing pit crew have become the benchmark   for F1. They were the first crew to break the  two-second barrier for completing a pit stop and,   beyond the headline times, have raised  the bar for season-long consistency.  

But there are also reports that Red  Bull may go a different way entirely.   Another leading candidate appears to be  former Red Bull junior Oliver Oakes.   The leader at junior formula competitors  Hitech GP, Oakes was a part of the Red  

Bull junior set-up during his own career and  has kept the relationship going with a number   of recent development drivers taking to the  track behind the wheel of one of his cars.   The 36-year-old is familiar with Helmut Marko  and vice versa, which reportedly sees Oakes  

As an ideal candidate to succeed Horner. It is also said that Red Bull will want to   install a CEO alongside the new team principal,  making Oakes an even more likely candidate.   What if Horner is found innocent? If Horner is found innocent of all charges,  

There is no question he still stay on in  the role but there may have already been   irrecoverable damage done to the team’s dynamics. Red Bull are a unique case in Formula 1 when   it comes to their management structure. A look at the company Red Bull Racing on  

Any official website and CEO Christian Horner is  clearly identified as the head honcho and yet,   dig a little deeper and there is a  long-standing power game taking place.   Horner’s role may be the top of the Red Bull  Racing tree but in terms of the wider Red Bull  

Group it is now CEO Oliver Mintzlaff who heads  up the energy drink’s sporting division and then   there is Helmut Marko. The 80-year-old was a  key factor in the team’s formation almost two   decades ago and was rewarded with a vaguely titled  ‘motorsport advisor’ role. Marko was even one of  

Those who selected Horner to run the operation and  that relationship seemed secure for a long time.   Rumours of a Marko-Horner power struggle  first emerged midway through the 2023 season,   with the former’s xenophobic comments in relation  to Sergio Perez putting him in the spotlight.  

Horner insisted Marko was not an employee at Red  Bull Racing and was therefore not under the team   principal’s jurisdiction and, when it came to  Red Bull GmbH, it appeared Marko had the same   sway with Mintzlaff and Mark Mateschitz  as he did with the latter’s late father.  

Marko survived the incident but whether Horner  now comes through his own Red Bull investigation   into alleged inappropriate behaviour remains to  be seen. Horner strongly denies those claims.   The surfacing of the investigation was also  telling. It originated from Dutch media with  

A source close to the Verstappen camp which  began speculation that Jos Verstappen and   Marko were behind it. This, of course, has  not been proven but it is telling that when   the battle lines were drawn, even long-time  allies were hesitant to come out in support.  

Compare this to when Marko was under pressure  and there were reports Max Verstappen would   walk away should Marko be given the boot. But even if the allegations prove to be   baseless and Horner’s name is cleared,  that relationship between the two men  

Does seem to be strained beyond repair. Compare it to the other nine constructors   on the grid. At each of them, you can point  to the leader. Andrea Stella may be McLaren’s   team principal but Zak Brown is the CEO above him.  Alessandro Alunni Bravi is the team representative  

Of Stake, Andreas Seidl is the CEO above  him. James Vowles is Williams team principal,   Matthew Savage is the chairman of  owners Dorilton Capital above him.   Horner will want to determine just who was  behind this plot to oust him and that could have  

Repercussions far beyond his own position. Will it dismantle Red Bull?   Heading into the new season, you would have been  hard pressed to find anyone who did not believe   Red Bull were about to walk to another title. But now there are doubts. Horner’s role is less  

Technical so he will not have had a say on the  car build but anything like this is enough to   potentially disrupt a team with their rivals  just waiting for any chance to move ahead.   The next few weeks will be crucial for Red Bull.  A quiet resolution and this will disappear from  

Memory but a noisy exit and Red Bull’s credentials  as title favourites may be under threat.   Outro As always,   thanks for watching this video and let us know in  the comments how you think this will pan out. In
