'Questions' raised over Horner following Red Bull controversy

Further 'question marks' have been raised regarding the controversy which surrounded Red Bull team principal Christian Horner in 2024.

It was a challenging campaign for the 51-year-old, whose team suffered from a drop-off in performance on the track, and off it, were hit by a number of key departures, including that of design guru Adrian Newey.

Furthermore, Horner was the subject of an internal investigation following accusations of 'inappropriate behaviour' towards a female colleague.

Horner was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing, and despite speculation over the future at the team, will once again be at the helm in 2025.

The Brit has been eager to move on from the period and focus on getting Red Bull back to the top of the order after losing their constructors' crown to McLaren last season.

Max Verstappen will line up alongside Liam Lawson at this weekend's Australian Grand Prix as the new season gets under way, but following the release of the latest season of Drive to Survive, the controversy surrounding Horner has once again come into full view.

Season seven of the hit Netflix show premiered last weekend, with the Horner storyline featuring heavily in the first episode, 'Business as Usual'.

During the episode, Horner directly addresses the matter, as does F1 journalist Will Buxton, who admitted that other teams would be on high alert to see if the sport's most dominant team over recent years would be affected.

“There will always be question marks over the internal situation at Red Bull," said Buxton.

"Every team will have their eyes on how this plays out and whether that has done anything to knock that team off centre."
