Toto Wolff has alluded to the ‘real story’ behind the Christian Horner controversy in a recent interview.

Horner has been under scrutiny for the past month after a female employee accused him of ‘inappropriate behaviour’.

He has since been cleared of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation, and the colleague who accused Horner has been suspended.

According to a report on the MailOnline, she is set to appeal the outcome of the internal Red Bull probe, and is ‘disappointed’ with how her complaint has been handled.

Wolff sheds light on ‘real story’ at Red Bull

There have been rumours suggesting the Verstappen’s and Helmut Marko could leave the team if Horner remains in his position, with Toto Wolff expressing his desire to see Max join Mercedes.

When asked why Red Bull have been unable to put these controversies to bed, Wolff discussed the 'real story' in the background.

“There is the real story in the background, namely the really important topic. Why did a woman who felt uncomfortable go to HR?” Wolff said in an interview with oe24.

“Why hasn't anyone talked about this yet? In addition, there is an information strategy that looks a bit confusing from the outside.

“I think the Austrians are professional, in England they try to keep everything small, but that's no longer possible these days.”
