Red Bull, the team of world champion Max Verstappen, said it “takes these matters extremely seriously”.

A spokesperson said: “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation.

“This process, which is already underway, is being carried out by an external specialist barrister.

“The company takes these matters extremely seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible.

“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

In response to the allegations, Horner said: “I completely deny these claims.”

Horner – who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell – has been preparing for the 2024 season as Red Bull look to defend their championship titles. 

Last season, Red Bull won 21 of the 22 races as Verstappen claimed the drivers’ title.

Horner has led Milton Keynes-based Red Bull since their arrival on the grid in 2005 – and overseen a period of huge success for the team.

Red Bull have won seven drivers’ championships and six constructors championships under the team boss.
