Red Bull announced Wednesday that a complaint against Formula One team principal Christian Horner “has been dismissed” after an investigation, clearing him to continue in his current role.
“The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed,” a Red Bull spokesperson said in a statement.
“The complainant has a right of appeal. Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial. The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned,” the spokesperson said. “Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards.”
The news comes just ahead of the first race of the 2024 season this weekend in Bahrain. Horner, 50, had denied the allegations and insisted he was proceeding with business as usual, appearing at the Red Bull car launch on Feb. 15 and at the Bahrain track for preseason testing last week.
Horner has led the Red Bull F1 team since it was founded in 2005, enjoying an extraordinary run of success, including 113 race wins.
