An anonymous email sends screenshots of Whatsapp and photos regarding the exchanges between Horner and the Red Bull employee
Shock in the press room tonight at 6:39 pm, during Free Practice 2. An anonymous email containing around twenty attachments was received by over 150 people including media, the FIA, and F1 regarding the messages exchanged between the Red Bull employee who was a victim of inappropriate behavior and Christian Horner, the F1 team principal.
Entitled “The evidence used in the investigation against Christian Horner”, this email was sent to over a hundred media outlets as well as the leaders of F1 teams, the FIA, and Liberty Media (F1).
Following the recent investigation by Red Bull and the statements, you will be interested to see the attached documents.
This message was sent to the following recipients [Email list].
Christian Horner was the subject of an internal investigation by Red Bull after rumors surfaced of inappropriate behavior by the Red Bull team principal. Although the employee did not wish to make this matter public and therefore did not file a complaint, Red Bull still chose to appoint a lawyer who delivered a verdict that Red Bull deemed “fair”.
Thus, Red Bull communicated this week that no further action would be taken regarding the incident and that the behavior had not been deemed inappropriate towards this employee.
Toto Wolff, responding to the press, asked for more clarification on the investigation and especially requested transparency. That was all it took. An anonymous email was received by the press this Thursday evening, during Free Practice 2 in Bahrain, containing 79 photos including screenshots of Whatsapp conversations between the alleged employee and Christian Horner.
According to the screenshots, exchanges between the employee and Christian Horner lasted several months and several photos were sent by Christian Horner. Among the attachments sent, two photos appear more compromising than the others.
