Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner responded to a couple of quick questions concerning yesterday's news and suggested that he will retain his role.
At the beginning of February, an investigation for "inappropriate behavior" was launched against Christian Horner based on accusations from a female employee.
The process took longer than expected, but at the beginning of this week, it was said the investigation was finally concluded, and yesterday, Red Bull finally put out a statement about the case.
In the statement, the company wrote that the grievance has been dismissed, which means that the complaint has been rejected or deemed invalid by the authorities leading the investigation.
While the complainant has the right to appeal, the statement noted Red Bull believed the investigation process was "fair, rigorous, and impartial."
The 50-year-old retained his role throughout the whole investigation, and it seems he will remain the team principal of Red Bull Racing moving forward.
Sky Sports reporter Craig Slater caught Christian Horner in the paddock of the Bahrain International Circuit ahead of FP1 and asked him a few quick questions concerning the finished investigation. The Red Bull team principal said:
"I'm just pleased that the process is over, I obviously can't comment about it. Here, the focus is very much on the Grand Prix and the season ahead and defending both of our titles."
The statement from Red Bull also stated, "investigation report is confidential and contains the private information" of the parties involved as a reason for not sharing more information about the case.
It is for the same reason that the 50-year-old can't share further information about the investigation. Horner also added:
"I can't give you any further comment. Process has been conducted and concluded. I'm pleased to be here in Bahrain and with the team focused on the season ahead. The team has never been stronger."
