FIA will not “jump gun” with Horner probe, despite situation “damaging the sport”
Following a probe by Red Bull regarding claims of inappropriate behavior made against Christian Horner by a female employee, it was announced that the complaints had been dismissed due to lack of evidence.
Anonymous emails were sent during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, revealing an alleged dossier of documents related to the matter, causing global headlines.
There is concern within F1 management and the FIA that the focus on the Horner developments is overshadowing the start of the grand prix season.
Horner met with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and FIA President Ben Sulayem in Bahrain to discuss the situation and potential next steps.
While there is no official comment on the outcome of the meeting, it seems that FIA involvement to understand the situation independently has been ruled out.
Despite lacking transparency in the investigation findings, Red Bull has faced criticism from rival team bosses for not providing clarity on the situation.
