RED BULL boss Christian Horner is set to face a hearing into allegations of inappropriate behaviour on Friday.

The fall-out could have huge ramifications on the 50-year-old who has been with the team since January 2005.

Oakes would be a ready-made replacement and interestingly has a similar career path to Horner.

The Brit, 35, is a former racing driver turned team-owner in the lower formulas, just like Horner.

However, Oakes is also a former Red Bull junior driver so has strong links with the race team and company’s HQ in Austria.
