Formula 1 News: Horner accuser has until today to appeal

Christian Horner’s accuser has until the end of today to file an appeal over Red Bull’s decision to clear him of any wrongdoing.

The anonymous female staffer has armed herself with a team of lawyers

Allegations of inappropriate and controlling behavior against Horner were dismissed last Wednesday following an internal probe.

Horner, who remains at the helm of the Red Bull Racing team, has always vehemently denied all accusations.

Despite dozens of messages being shared last week – many of which were sexually suggestive in nature – Red Bull’s board has continued to stand by him.

The female staffer is understood to be still going to work at Red Bull’s Milton Keynes HQ, reports The Times.

She remains in contact with Horner due to the nature of her role.

Following the decision last Wednesday, the woman was told she had five working days to appeal against the decision to clear Horner, insiders said.

It means she must file an appeal before today’s deadline if she wishes to.

One insider told The Times: “She’s taken on her lawyers. People don’t just roll over in these cases.”
