Christian Horner, the Red Bull team principal, was found not to have acted inappropriately after an inquiry disregarded a female coworker's accusation against him.

The parent company of the team released a statement saying, "The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr. Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed." It is the complainant's right to file an appeal.

Red Bull is certain that the inquiry was conducted in a fair, thorough, and unbiased manner. We will refrain from making any more comments out of respect for everyone involved, as the investigation report is secret and contains the private information of the parties and third parties that participated in the inquiry.

"Red Bull will keep working to uphold the highest standards in the workplace."

Red Bull announced more than three weeks ago that it had engaged "an external specialist barrister" to look into the problem, which is when word of the probe first surfaced. At the time, it declared that it was considering the allegation "very seriously."

A few days later, the unidentified attorney had an interview with Horner, who has consistently denied any misconduct. Since then, Red Bull has been under intense pressure to find a speedy solution to the problem out of concern for the sport's reputation, particularly from Ford, the FIA, and Formula One itself.

Although many had anticipated that Horner would be suspended while the inquiry was ongoing, the 50-year-old was present for both the RB20 introduction two weeks ago and the pre-season testing in Bahrain last week.

Although the specifics of the accusation have never been made public, media have consistently indicated that Horner was charged with acting inappropriately and controllingly toward a staff member; Red Bull has never refuted these claims.

Nevertheless, he has been acquitted of those accusations, and on Saturday he will take his position on the pit wall for the first grand prix of the season.
