There has been a further development surrounding the allegations of inappropriate behaviour by Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
Last year, Horner came under scrutiny in February after a Red Bull employee accused him of inappropriate behaviour.
It caused turmoil within the Red Bull ranks and painfully exposed certain relationships within the Austrian outfit when internal power struggles also came to light.
However, internal investigations cleared Horner twice of any wrongdoing, but the woman in question is not letting up.
According to De Telegraaf, the woman has gone to the labour court and the case will be heard in January 2026. The labour court specialises in disputes between employers and employees.
The publication has also reported that British media have been banned from reporting on the case, resulting in recent silence surrounding it by many publications.
The Horner camp petitioned for a Reporting Restricting Order (RRO), which the court agreed to. Until those restrictions are lifted, British media will not be allowed to write about the case.
An RRO is not an unusual phenomenon in the British media landscape. It is an additional measure to keep a case anonymous.
Often in the case of a sensitive celebrity issue, such an RRO is issued. As mentioned, the case is due to be heard in January 2026, unless both parties reach a settlement between themselves sooner.
