Red Bull Racing started the independent investigation in early February in response to a complaint from a female employee who accused Christian Horner of inappropriate behavior. The Englishman from day one denied all the allegations and on Thursday Red Bull declared that Horner had been cleared of all charges after the attorney tasked with the investigation cleared him of any wrongdoing.

Red Bull stated that the lawyer’s report would remain confidential and that the process was fair and impartial. Toto Wolff, the head of Mercedes’s team, is still a little confused. Wolff said that on such matters the team needs to have more transparency as these are very crucial allegations. He urges Red Bu; and F1 to give more clarification on the matter and release the reports.

I believe that the people in charge of this sport owe it to all of our fans and the sport itself to clarify that everything has been open and honest with them. that they reach the same judgment as Red Bull and accept the result. I believe that until then, there will be a lot of unanswered questions and conjecture regarding the entire procedure.Wolff said, as Reported by Telegraf.

CEO of McLaren Zak Brown also demanded further information regarding the investigation into team manager Horner, from the motorsport federation FIA and the Formula 1 management. Brown believes that the management needs to owe to all their fans. Brown believes that there were a lot of unanswered questions in these matters.

Adrian Newey, the team’s car designer, was among the important team members with whom Horner met in the paddock on Thursday. Horner also assisted in leading the team from the pit wall. The last three Formula One titles have been won by Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Even though Verstappen felt the car felt “miles off” during his early runs.

The team was competitive in the first practice, with Verstappen placing sixth and teammate Sergio Perez placing 12th. Although everyone expected to see the Red Bull family united even in the tough times. Verstappen and Perez also said in past interviews that their main aim as a team is to achieve the 2024 season goals. But at last, it was seen that the Team was united even during the tough times.
