'Horner takes legal action against Dutch newspaper'
On Friday, De Telegraaf revealed details surrounding the investigation into Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner. The Dutch newspaper reportedly gained insight into the investigation. Horner is now taking legal action against the publication.
De Telegraaf reported that Horner was allegedly guilty of sending sexual messages over a considerable period of time towards a female colleague at Red Bull Racing. The Dutch newspaper say they have seen WhatsApp messages between the female co-worker and Horner.
The newspaper reports that the British team boss did his best to cover up the investigation. He is said to have offered as much as a £650,000 settlement.
Horner continues to deny
Horner denies all allegations made towards him. According to Motorsport-Total, he has, therefore, since taken legal action towards this publication by the Dutch newspaper. Pending the investigation, the team boss continues to work for the race team as usual and will appear at the upcoming test days in Bahrain.
