By taking this course of action, it is possible that the specifics of the Formula One controversy may become public knowledge, despite the fact that Red Bull has made every effort to keep the situation under wraps.

At the beginning of February, a female employee of Red Bull accused team principal Horner of engaging in “inappropriate behavior.” However, after an independent investigation that lasted for a month, Horner was found not guilty of the allegations.

The complainant has subsequently been suspended on full pay by the Formula One champions and is appealing the outcome of the investigation. The 50-year-old has consistently rejected the allegations, while the complainant has been suspended.

The scandal has continued to cast a cloud over the sport, not least because images and texts that were allegedly relevant to the investigation were leaked prior to the first race of the season.

Despite the fact that Horner, the husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, has stated that he wants to “draw a line” under the problem, the scandal has continued to overshadow the sport.

A civil war has broken out behind the scenes at Red Bull as a result of the fact that Jos Verstappen, Max Verstappen’s father, has openly demanded that Horner be fire from his position.

Red Bull has consistently stated that they are unable to disclose any information regarding the case. They provided the following statement: “The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation. As a result, we will not be commenting further out of respect for all those who are involved.”

On the other hand, The Guardian reports that in the event that the complainant, who has not yet been identified, is unsuccessful in her appeal, she will be required to appear before an employment tribunal, where the specifics of the case may be made available to the general public.

“In the event that the worker is dissatisfied with the decision, they have the option to file an appeal within the company, and if they are still dissatisfied after that process, they have the option to take their case to an employment tribunal,” He was informed by Tania Goodman, who works for the law firm Collyer-Bristow.

“Under those conditions, the confidentiality that is associated with internal procedures would no longer be applicable.”
