Parent company’s attempt to draw a line under the saga is a deeply unedifying conclusion for all concerned
Christian Horner has been nothing but bullish in the insistence of his innocence throughout Red Bull’s investigation into alleged inappropriate behaviour, of which on Wednesday he was finally exonerated. He will doubtless feel vindicated while his team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH, who instigated the inquiry, are clearly hoping this will simply draw a line under the affair. They do not deserve such benevolence.
The complaint made by a female employee against Horner was dismissed after an investigation that lasted almost eight weeks. The speculation that accompanied it has been rife but nothing in the inquiry has been made public, including the nature of the complaint, Horner’s defence, its conclusions or how they were reached.
