Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken publicly for the first time since being placed under investigation by the Formula 1 team's parent company following an accusation of inappropriate behaviour.
Horner attended the launch of Red Bull's new car for the 2024 season in an event at their Milton Keynes base on Thursday.
The 50-year-old publicly denied the allegations for the first time. He has previously denied the accusations "entirely".

“As per usual, we’ve got no idea. Here’s some rumors and gossip we heard from a guy at the local truck stop. We’ll be back here next week to confirm everything we said today was bollocks.”
You Bloody Nailed it right there
Didn't see you complaining when the rumors and gossip was about other teams.
@@jeffsteyn7174 its disgusting regardless of what team they are talking about. And of course RB isn't your team so you want the drama. been watching f1 for 30 years+ so like all old school f1 fans we dont really care we just wanna see a good competative season. Only the new netflix dweebs care about picking sides. and a bloody popularity contest is supposed to decide the champions!
Have a good think about that
@@travisfubu9053 provide links or references or drink more koolaid
Ok sexpest
Is it just me or do the main presenters always sound like they haven’t got a clue what f1 is
Probably because they don't, that's why they get Caig Slater involved all the time.
I always assumed they were just general new reporters, or maybe football reporters.
Finally someone says what needs to be said...
It's SUPER unusual how these people talk...it's the same with BBC news presenters as well. They're almost like robots.
craig slater only confuses matters more lol
@@DV8Rx
Presenters are just interested in scandals and gossips
accuser remains anonymous but the accused is named, not the first time and its disgusting.
100% agree. The system is totally unfair. Male or Female if you make these accusations and you have nothing to hide...you should be proud to stand up and be counted. This wouldn`t be the first time a celebrity or prominent figure`s career has been destroyed regardless of the outcome...disgusting system.
I agree 💯
What are you on about?
@user-ki1pf5hq8z womp womp poor CEOs, they can't bully their staff anymore and get away with it.
Get a grip, most likely story is that Christian sent an expletive-filled text to a subordinate or the like.
Inappropriate, yes.
Will he be fired, 99.9% No.
Did you idiots buy all of the rage bait put out by the media, Absolutely.
Absolutely correct.
Horner knows how to handle himself. But you can see it's taking a toll on him hope everything gets cleared
The nebulous claims of "innappropriate behavior" have been weaponized way too many times over the past couple of decades to garner any serious consideration from the likes of me...that is until the evidences drops on the table. Otherwise I'm inclined to think it's an ambiguous claim with little-to-no merit. I'm prepared to eat my words but I doubt this investigation will reveal anything of substance.
Everyone has their opinion but the parent company of the race team don’t bring in an independent body to deal with a little disagreement. These are serious accusations and thankfully the process is being done correctly from what we can see.
@@SuperHellhawk you keep spamming this inane line of reasoning why?
@@SuperHellhawk Get a life you naive man
@@SuperHellhawk I am not saying this to mock you, but it sounds to me as though you are extremely young and have very little to no experience with Fortune 500/100 companies.
You will find that these large corporations send you a new-hire document package that is quite extensive (150-200 pages). For at least the past 20 years the largest companies have dedicated specialized documents within the new hire package to specifically address issues of moral or sexual misconduct. The new hire signs those documents and then becomes legally liable for their own conduct.
I have never seen any of these new hire documents that did not expressly state that sexual misconduct would be met with instant termination.
The seriousness of the claim has NOTHING to do with how the corporation perceives the veracity of the claim. These companies are in fact legally obligated to conduct internal investigations at the corporate level for any claim of this nature. You will find that these companies have embedded those regulatory obligations within their own GSOPs.
Only an imbecile would conduct a local investigation when the perpetrators would potentially have access to, or be in control of the local systems. Global, independent teams are ALWAYS called in for these kinds of investigations. That is absolutely standard in the corporate world.
Other investigations that trigger an instant escalation to Global are racial or gender discrimination cases. All of these escalations are meticulously codified in GSOPs. They have VERY specific decision trees that must be followed according to the category of the claim and these decision trees are built in to the validated digital systems that are used to open the case file. These systems ensure there is an unbroken audit trail with the information being entered and they will AUTOMATICALLY escalate to Global depending on the case codes that are selected when it is first opened.
Since 2007 I have NEVER seen a case like this handled on a local level.
For this type of claim, escalating to Global means nothing. That is as standard as it gets.
Now we will see how much evidence there is to support the claim.
@gianni_schicchi 😂 so reality is now insane?.😂 keep crying fanboy.
The man is ironclad, he’s not going to hide away and cower. Whomever launched this attack expected him to resign immediately, that failed, there’s no weight to any of this. Christian will not give in to this nonsense. I hope everyone is watching closely, this is how a true leader acts. He won’t lower himself to the drama, he won’t indulge the pundits. The very fact he’s still in charge, the fact he was front and center at the reveal, the fact redbull applauded him, it should all show us that the media is ringing our every last rumor out of this. It’s not what it seems and Christian is not going to flounder his legacy.
This is probably a witch hunt , I’m not a fan of Horner but it looks very much like it
It really doesn’t. The parent company of the team doesn’t launch an independent review for nothing. No doubt there is politics behind the scenes being added to it as well but to claim it’s a witch hunt is misguided
💯
Globalist woke cult at it again.
You aren’t a fan but calling it a witch hunt without knowing anything about the accused inappropriate behavior. You must be a fanboy.
@@SuperHellhawkhow do you know any of that?
Companies often quickly make a public statement about having an internal investigation that doesn’t mean they suspect anything
Sounds like a lot of media B.S…
Horner has aged 5 years since these allegations started.
_"Major Formula 1 news"_ ....No, it was 11mins of pure waffle and rumours. I don't like Horner one bit but some of these questions were just plain unfair. Why would he take a step back based purely on an accusation? Beyond some very vague wording we don't know anything, how it came about, or even if it has any merit. We won't have any answers until the investigation is over. Tabloid journalism at its worst.
The interviewer stated that we’re not hearing from the accusing party for obvious reasons. What obvious reasons? Should we not hear both sides?
For very obvious privacy and security reasons. This is very standard in whistle-blowing, regardless of the industry or the accusations. This is not a matter for the courts of public opinion and the accuser has zero obligation to publicly share her side, nor is it particularly helpful to the case for either side. Her accusations will be heard and assessed by the relevant parties, not the general public. Horner on the other hand, as the accused, is a significant public figure so of course he may feel the need to defend himself publicly, as does the organisation have a responsibility to inform its shareholders/stakeholders about its affairs. It's really quite simple.
@@perc30mg and Horner is also the subject of the court of public opinion and thusly punished regardless of guilt.
Sky absolutely loving this and milking it for all it's worth. The bias is scary.
this is how they keep their viewer they are DTS 2.0
@@grimfist79 The bias is his own he thinks sky are anti redbull and thus they like this story. Its the equivalent of "man creates a fictional scenario then gets mad about it" lmao
Why would anyone resign from allegations
Craig is such a greasy interviewer, formulating his own answers from absolutely nothing. Hate journalists!
Clearly this is orchestrated by Helmut or someone at RedBull. If it were true he would be gone by now.
Not necessarily. We all know the personality of Horner and he was never going to step down but it’s clear there has been political pressure behind the scenes for him to step down but RB can’t dismiss him until he’s guilty otherwise it would be indecent
Or, stuff like this has been happening for a long time and Helmut or someone at red bull, someone recently deceased for example, is no longer letting him use the company purse to cover things up anymore. WWE just had this exact thing happen as soon as Vince McMahon lost control of the company, the suppressed allegations came out.
“Clearly” - some random keyboard warrior
If it were gross misconduct he'd have already been suspended to protect himself and the other party. If it isn't true, then the other parties need taken to task.
Wtf are all thease people Sky employ to present these tv shows....
Nearly as Bad as the teams employing far too many people firvthe sake of it.
Unfortunately a mere accusation is just as damaging as being found guilty. If the accusation is unfounded what punishment for the accuser？Very dangerous having females around high powered men.
I think you said the quiet part out loud
I just know you and all the people who liked this comment are virgins 😂
Boss gets in trouble for being bossy. Welcome to the lifetime of the snowflake.
What are the accusations?
This is exactly what I thought from the start, someone watching too much tik tok and thinks if a boss speaks to you without 'respect' then that is way out of line.
@@josephhall5136 yeah that's course why the parent company gets an independent barrister to conduct an investigation.
@@josephhall5136Fr, who would have thought within an F1 team where the only objective is to win that you’d be subjected to controlling or coercive leadership? Keep in mind the person that made the complaint likely made a cushy six figure salary
@JohnDoe19840 but they have to, imagine if they was seen to do nothing in this day and age. The amount of backlash would be like nothing else in F1.
Craig Slater is so annoying
No. You are Maskie.
Man is a literal cuck
I think he is excellent
No he isn't he is literally just getting his dough from how he is quite good he is literally the only sky person I know for pre season news sky team he is him cl
Imagine clicking on a video that you know includes commentary from a person you dont like only to cry about that person later on. The kind of cry babies commenting on sky is so entertaining lol
If being in a competitive sport industry is too much to handle, the other person should quit, not get upset when the team principles do their job.
If he's done wrong, he'll be gone, but it seems fishy. Should the allegations be proven false by his invisible accuser, then the law must come down hard to shore up what seems to be trending behaviour that can ruin reputations even when the accused is innocent
He has been set up.
I Hope he will survive this and can stay in his position. Great guy and has build a great and successful team.
You know absolutely nothing about Horner in his private or professional life simply the media persona that is put on. Let’s wait until the independent review is done and we go from there but to single handily say he built the team is an odd comment
@@SuperHellhawk no I don’t. But I don’t have the idea that it’s that severe because otherwise they wouldn’t let him stay in his position during the investigation. And it’s innocent until proven guilty. Doesn’t take away the man did a great job.
This is really poor reporting from Sky, Craig is being a Rumour mongerer and really petty with how he is carrying this.
Are you guys a serious media house or a petty Clickbaity Tabloid ?
There are standards to Journalism, I dont know why they are being tossed in the Dustbin.
What a witch hunt Why do you have to speculate no matter what this person does you will always perceive him as guilty stop the bull I’m sick of hearing hear say and go get on all your broom sticks
Very impressed he was at the launch. He did nothing wrong it's preconceived plan to get him out
then what's the reason to want him out?? he managed the team well enough to be multiple champion team manager. so why?? you don't get someone fired just "because you want". there's something for sure! for me he's guilty and RB tried to give him a possibility to get out without too much drama. he refused because he feels like it's his team!
He dodged the Marko question
But yes Craig Slater is a bell-end
He said it was an unusual moment at a car launch, but he brought it up!
What a load of bollocks. Just leave it alone Sky FFS.
Bring out the pitchforks Sky. You always wanted to burn Horner after Him and Max refused to talk to all of you after Ted's infamous nagging about 2021.
You can't say anything these days without being crucified.
If he takes the time off he would admit defeat and you can say a lot about Horner but a coward he is not. You don't throw away 20 years of hard work for a possible misunderstanding.
Good to see Christian!!
A typical workplace witch hunt, if the board don't want Christian then come out and say so, pay him off, he'll find another job in F1 without difficulty.
How do you know that?
Red bull would not be red bull without him leading it, stop the drama and leave the man alone, now focus on the important stuff which is F1 Racing! let them handle their business in privacy
The accuser deserves no anonymity. She should be named, examined and exposed.
Absolutely agreed
Ok then little guy
Yes, and who is she linked with ?
@@PabeGeetwhat?
Not until the investigation is complete and any proof or lack of proof is exposed. This comment section should be disabled
The so called "case" is a plot. Power fight. It is very strange that the guy that put this team together is being treated like this. Red Bull company is clearly becoming a mafia at the top management level.
If you just listen to how Craig Slater is formulating his answers to all questions: This is what we know, this is what they said, all seems ok and everybody happy, and then BUT they didn't give the right answer to my question and this is what might be the truth. And that BUT moment is literally in every single answer he gives. Rapidly losing respect for this journalist, his style is more suited to a tabloid, where he can come up with his theories as often as he likes. What are we talking about, a boss being bossy? That's a boss doing his job, unlike a journalist reporting on gossip and things that pop up in his head.
The tall trees always catches the most wind : hope this gets resolved soon.
Craig hilariously said, basically: "I'm not sure why Verstappen's stopped me from pestering Max about an ongoing investigation, he really can't say anything legal about."
We all know this is Marko's doing! Horner tried to get rid of Marko from the race team, questioning him he is not part of the race team....
What a BS reaction based on nothing , no proof only based on cheap social media info ….. show facts and proof before you shout this nonsense
How do we all know!? It was revealed last year that halfway through the 2022 season Marko had to go very far to keep Horner at Red Bull after Ferrari had seen enough of Binotto and made a move to snatch Horner from Red Bull.
Total set up and its goes away along whoever stirred it up
Marko isn’t doing anything but a different person is claiming inappropriate behavior.
@@eacamo2986 again based on social media talk , no proof all bla bla bla it’s soooo easy to shout thinks without proof
The guy is always the worst reporter and interviewer. Regurgitates the same line and asks questions only to get a got ya answer
Well done Merc for not gloating.I hope RB Brackley stick by him. Noone will come out of this with any dignity especially RB Austria. Why haven't they supported and defended him.
Jesus, never seen Horner so thin. Keep on Christian. I believe in good resolution and you will be with team.
Someone drag Slater away from us. So monotone and giving us no real information
WE LOVE YOU CHRISTIAN!❤❤
Im not even a tiny bit worried. He wont get fired. Thats just not how the world works.
what i remember is that max as been described as very supportive, when rumors says max and newey were about to leave.
Regardless, if Horner is pushed out, others will follow. And the machine that is Red Bull will fall from grace. Success is cyclical in F1. If anyone inside Red Bull is orchestrating this, they're orchestrating the beginning of their own downfall.
lol I am so confused. So Horner is accused of something by a female team-member, while having issues with the "Verstappens", while having issues with Redbull execs, while having issues with Marko?!?
It’s a real power struggle show. Someone for sure envies him and wants him out. He’s one of the successful Team Principals out there. And being in that position for that long and that successful, envy, temptations will come and hunt you down.
Horner looked like a shadow of himself at the car launch.
Guilty
Well I think it was wise of him to be so,if he came out there looking like he laughed and brushed it off people would say his not taking this seriously enough..... Kinda his dammed if he does and his dammed if he doesn't. If this is a farce and over I'm sure he'll drop a "I told you so"
@@carrietaylor6658 yes social media judge, jury and executioner???
Why does it matter if it's a female staff member.
How should anybody know? This depends on the nature of the inappropriate behavior. We don’t know that.
@@Goaltimer which is why there's no reason to stick the word "female" into the narrative.
Free Christian Horner
Craig is the Kaveh of Sky F1.
😂😂😂😂 I know what you mean😂😂😂
absolute top tier cuck hahaha
@@seanpower660no thats harsh m8 he aint as bad as bad as kaveh craig slater I dont think anybody is as bad as him really 🤣
Imagine being in control of a company and you're being called out for..... Controlling behavior........ This is so f@cking stupid, what's this world comming to??
It’s all a fake witch hunt. He’s not going anywhere.
Horner does seem like there is some legitimate stuff going on, he's being super careful with his words. Something is going on, I don't know if it's true, but he seemed worried.
Seems like a good reason to keep teams clear of the xx.
No Helmut Marko at the launch...?!? 🤔
Horner should just say up yours to Red Bull, and go to Ferrari or the new Audi team.
5:31 "Convinced of my innocence" is a very interesting choice of words.
And yet people want to cape for this (most likely) abuser…
Who is this woman that made the allegations? Is there even a woman? If they could have strung him up they would have by now.
Why speak about it? You should know what the response will be so move on from your boring question and ask something else that is either entertaining or simply informative. Not legal crap. That is not what an average F1 fan wants
A guy being wrongly accused is what most normal people want sorted.
What do you want to talk about.
More WOKE Sky sports presenters maybe.
no response about marko there is something to do with him
God I'm sick of Craig Slater
This is not journalism, its rumour bred nonsense that people lap up because these so called journalists have nothing else to focus on currently. Making a mockery of the sport which should be priority every time.
i would not be surpriced if a grp of people or someone convinced or payed a employee to start this allegations to get Horner out of the picture. i belive more that this allegations is created by "politics" and not a real incident.
Imagine this is all just a ploy because they've created an absolute monster with the RB20, and they're rather the headlines be about horner staying or going. I expect this to drag out to race 2 😂😂
What the heck is “inappropriate behaviour”? That is vague and smells of witch hunt. Jos Verstappen should mind his own business if he is still interfering. Time to let Max be a big boy.
Anybody else keep forgetting Craig works for sky and not Red Bull?
The latest Horner news only on Lulu TV
Well that cleared everything up.
Not even a fan of red bull but no, he didnt do a thing.
I hope that the truth provails. If hes innocent i hope he is vindicated and everyone moves on swiftly and forgets about it. If hes guilt i hope he gets punished appropriately and the team is allowed to move on.
It’s become a bit of a theme, accusation is thrown out against a person in power (who happens to be a man), without so much of proof or evidence and it’s the guy is supposed to remove himself just because?
He is just fantastic!! He is soo exact and sane on his words. 👏👏👏👏
What does little Jack think?
No one knows the truth about the allegations.
Until they do it’s just pure speculation.
My take.
To be a team manager for 20 years and this allegation is the first tells me it’s a person who hasn’t done the job they are paid to do to the standards required. F1 teams set very high standards from drivers to the very top.
milked this story hey!!!! people are looking for what they don't even know.... Max team was right not to let you inquire cos it's drama
Let’s not forget that Dieter’s son Mark wanted Helmut Marko gone.
Feels like someone is taking advantage of a silly persons accusations thats being fed to the media.
Finally the world is realizing that there is MAXBUll (Marko and the Verstappens) and the original RedBull spirit which is still honored by Christian Horner. The reality is The Verstappens and Racist Marko are now the cancer killing the Original RedBull F1 Dream
What a horrible interview... So many dumb questions in such little time! Well done!
Good timing Toto
SkyF1 still fishing for headlines and for every opportunity to throw mud without any evidence. Sky must still be bitter about 2021
Unfortunately, weather Horner is innocent or not, he will not be at Red bull much longer. This will not have a good ending. How can a guy manage a giant team after all this? Employees will be talking behind Horner’s back constantly.
As long as it's not a serious crime! I always say everyone deserves a second chance. In times like these, everything gets blown up on social media. yes and then he spoke stupidly to a woman! We are all just human, everyone makes mistakes. A woman is not worth destroying this great team! long live Red Bull Racing!! the envy of the haters is limitless.. disgusting people
This will be max verstappen’s LOST chance to win 7+ world championships.
I really think Marko has plenty to do with this crap. And maybe Jos
he was confident they did not breach the cost cap...
If Horner did something wrong, he should be accused. This broadcast however is PURE sensation, business as usual. Get off Sky Sports News, you suck with this low level journalism.
Interesting times at Red Bull Sport….maybe we should not be confused by the smoke screen created about the woman complaining about Horners management style and rather start focusing on the new Executive….“ Oliver Mintzlaff „ Maybe there is a power struggle with the new management because before this Red Bull racing were on their own management. Just maybe Horner and Marko is wanting their own right and management style and not that of Oliver Mintzlaff ! Who know lets wait and see.
Notice he didn't say its not true
he said its not correct when asked about the friction in the team
People are filthy.
If we were in renaissance France there would be seething crowds waiting to see baskets full of heads.
It’s the same but different.
the question is were is this female staff member that has come out with this allegation
What inappropriate actions
Major news? Not
Some women just wants a payout.
Once you become rich and famous as a men I guarantee they will find some women 20 year ago that you mistakenly bumped in to then claim it was assault.
Yeah because rich and powerful men never do these things stories always come from the truth in some way even if the story changed he’s always been arrogant and think he’s god gift always has done but he can afford the best legal help so he’ll get away with it clearly your still stuck in the time of the let’s not believe the victim he’s had his time lasted way longer than most it’s time to go
@@willtallis5275 What ever women works around know who he is and is character like you said he is always arrogant and acts like gods gift , if you don't like it asked to be moved to a different department or work for a different company.
Anyone notice how much Sky Sports want it to be true - even hope that Christian must go?
The Gigs up. Everyone makes this out to be ....and then point fingers. How about someone says they are being abused and that could very well be true. He looks different today he looks like someone facing consequences for the first time maybe ever. Don't dig in to protect a predator let it play out.
His attitude speaks different from what he`s saying. Normally arrogance sets in automatically in his speech but today he looks like he`s lost
