The case surrounding team boss Christian Horner is picking up speed again. The reason is a new investigation that could incriminate the Briton.

The Austrian side around sports director Oliver Mintzlaff and motorsport director Dr. Helmut Marko, on the other hand, is said to have planned to remove Horner as team boss. The Briton, however, clung to his chair and seemed to be able to ride out the storm raging around him. Even those around Max Verstappen and his father Jos are said to have campaigned for Horner to leave. According to a report in the English newspaper, Sun, the employee is said, to have appealed and will be questioned again in the coming days. The Red Bull Formula 1 team is not really looking upbeat this season; the Brause racing team is headed by world champion Max VerStappen, who leads the World Cup standings.
