The woman who accused Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner of inappropriate behaviour wants to pursue him legally at any cost. The whole process has reportedly already cost her hundreds of thousands of pounds.

While there is now less talk in the Formula 1 paddock and media about the saga surrounding Christian Horner, everything continues in the background. The Red Bull employee has been suspended. However, her salary, which is around £65,000 a year according to the Daily Mail, will continue to be paid. Horner has been found not guilty and can continue in his position as normal.

Red Bull employee is paying herself silly on the case

The woman disagrees. A friend of hers revealed earlier that she feels let down by her (former) employer. So, the Red Bull employee did not leave it at that time and took the story to court. This is costing her lots of money. The Daily Mail reports that the legal costs have already reached hundreds of thousands of pounds. The woman has also parted ways with her previous lawyers, Lewis Silkin. She has now moved up the ranks at the global law firm, Goodwin Procter, headquartered in Boston, in the United States.

It was previously revealed that the woman had hired a PR firm to support her in the trial. The British Medium reports that this is Giles Kenningham specifically. He works at Trafalgar Strategy, a PR agency specialising in public affairs, crisis communications, and reputation management. These charges do not go down well with the woman either. Kenningham's services are reportedly between £15,000-20,000 a month.
