Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner cleared of misconduct allegations

Red Bull Racing issues a statement after an independent probe clears Horner of alleged misconduct towards a female employee.

Christian Horner will remain the boss of Formula One (F1) champions Red Bull Racing after the team’s energy drink parent company said he had been cleared of alleged misconduct towards a female employee.

Red Bull issued a statement on Wednesday after an independent investigation, over which the team had no control.

“Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed,” a Red Bull spokesperson said.

The Austrian energy drink company said in the statement it was “confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial”.

The complainant has the right to appeal, according to the statement.
