Christian Horner breaks silence after accuser suspended by Red Bull

Christian Horner said the "intrusion on my family is now enough" after he was cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal investigation following a female colleague's complaint of "inappropriate behaviour".

Hundreds of WhatsApp messages allegedly between Horner and the female colleague were leaked a day later.

It emerged on Thursday (7 March) that the accuser was suspended, on full pay, with the decision said to be taken as a result of the findings of the internal probe.

A Red Bull spokesperson stated: “The company cannot comment on this internal matter”.

"My wife has been hugely supportive, as has my family, but the intrusion on my family is now enough, and we need to move forward and focus on what we are here for," Horner said.
