Formula 1 News: FOM releases statement on Horner investigation

Formula 1 has issued a short statement acknowledging the internal investigation at Red Bull, with allegations from a female employee against team boss Christian Horner.

Horner is currently being investigated over allegations after an employee complaint, behavior which the Red Bull team principal has denied, and the sport has called for a clarification “at the earliest opportunity”.

Horner has said he is “working fully” with the investigation, which is taking place with Red Bull Racing’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH.

Formula 1 said in a statement on Sunday: “We have noted Red Bull has instigated an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing.

“We hope that the matter will be clarified at the earliest opportunity, after a fair and thorough process, and we will not comment further at this time.”
