Horner’s career remains in the balance
Christian Horner has endured a torrid month as team principal of Red Bull after the allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him by a female employee. On Wednesday in Bahrain he was cleared by the investigation the team’s parent company had instigated. He must have felt as if the worst was over – only for an email to be leaked on Thursday to F1, teams, press, and the FIA that contained images purporting to show messages between Horner and the employee who made the complaint. Their veracity has not been proved but it was enough to reignite the furore and pile pressure on to Horner.
