Ford CEO Jim Farley reportedly wrote to Red Bull, expressing his dissatisfaction with the lack of progress in the inquiry of Christian Horner. The 50-year-old is being investigated for allegations of inappropriate behavior, which he denies, following a complaint filed by a female employee with Red Bull’s parent company in Austria.
The controversy has left a pall over Red Bull ahead of the new season, with Horner’s future reportedly hanging in the balance as the inquiry proceeds. According to AP, Ford boss Farley has become frustrated of the delays in reaching a conclusion and has written to Red Bull to express his displeasure.
According to the newspaper, Farley wrote that Ford, which plans to join with Red Bull in 2026, is “increasingly frustrated by the lack of resolution or clear indication from you about when you anticipate a fair and just resolution of this matter.”
“We are likewise frustrated by the lack of full transparency surrounding this matter with us, your corporate partners, and look forward to receiving a complete account of all findings.”
