Horner, who was on Friday supervising Red Bull’s cars in qualifying for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, which takes place on Saturday, said: “I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, but to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations. I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully cooperated with it every step of the way.

Fair investigation

“It was a thorough and fair investigation conducted by an independent specialist barrister and it has concluded, dismissing the complaint made. I remain fully focused on the start of the season.” Red Bull’s parent company suggested the team believed the email of allegations sent on Thursday amounted to a private matter. “This is a private matter between Mr Horner and another and it would be inappropriate for Red Bull to comment on this,” a spokesperson for Red Bull GmbH said. 

Wife Geri extends support

Horner is believed to have been supported during the investigation by his wife, Geri, a member of the Spice Girls pop group.
