Christian Horner will be on the Red Bull pit wall this weekend after the constructor cleared the Brit of claims against him over domineering behaviour.
Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, has been officially cleared of the inappropriate behaviour allegations levelled against him.
Horner, 50, has been under scrutiny since claims of inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards a female coworker were levelled against him last month. Horner has consistently refuted the charges.
On Wednesday afternoon, it was reported that the Brit will be absolved of the claims, and a Red Bull statement has now verified this. It stated, “The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.”
“The complainant has the right to appeal. Red Bull is sure that the inquiry was fair, thorough, and impartial. The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties that assisted in the inquiry, thus we will not comment further out of respect for everyone involved. Red Bull will continue to strive for the best workplace standards.
Horner will be free to take his pit wall position in this weekend’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, which begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
