Formula One world champion Max Verstappen has backed Red Bull's handling of a complaint against boss Christian Horner and said the saga has had no impact on how he feels racing for the team.
Verstappen started the season by winning both races so far, but those victories at Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have been overshadowed by unspecified allegations of misconduct against Horner by a female employee at Red Bull.
Horner, who has denied the accusations, was cleared of misconduct but the unidentified woman lodged an appeal after her complaint was dismissed, British media reported last week, ensuring the controversy has continued to rumble on in the leadup to Sunday's Australian Grand Prix.
