Red Bull Racing’s team boss, Christian Horner, has been cleared after an investigation into claims he behaved badly towards a woman at work.
The claims said he acted inappropriately and tried to control her, but Red Bull has said the investigation was fair and Horner will keep his job.
Horner, who has been in charge of Red Bull since 2005, denied doing anything wrong. Red Bull, based in Austria, stated that the person who made the complaint could challenge the decision.
Red Bull didn’t share what the claims were about or how they investigated them but said they wouldn’t talk more about it to respect everyone involved.
This investigation started when the claims were made public on 5 February. Red Bull took eight weeks to look into it, which captured attention at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, said it’s key that the investigation is taken seriously to keep the sport safe and welcoming for everyone.
Ford, which will work with Red Bull from 2026, was not happy with how long the investigation was taking.
Ford’s boss, Jim Farley, even wrote to Red Bull asking for the investigation to be sorted out soon.
Max Verstappen, Red Bull’s champion driver, said he believed in the investigation process.
Formula 1 begins this weekend with the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday, a historic moment as it will be the first time a modern Grand Prix will be held on any day other than a Sunday.
