Red Bull team principal Christian Horner called on Formula 1 to "move onward" and "look forward" on Thursday after his company reportedly suspended a female employee who brought a complaint against him.
An independent investigation was launched last month into Horner, who is also CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing. Red Bull's parent company has declined to elaborate and has not disclosed the reason behind the investigation. The Associated Press reported that it involved alleged misconduct toward a team employee.
Horner, 50, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and appeared at the team's car launch, preseason testing and early races, aiming to show that it is business as usual.
Horner declined to confirm or deny reports about the employee's suspension at a regular news conference of team bosses Thursday, ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
“Look, I’m afraid that I can’t comment on anything that’s confidential between an employee in the company, so I can’t offer you anything on that, I’m afraid,” Horner said.
