FIA ethics committee notified of Christian Horner complaint as Red Bull caught off guard


The female Red Bull employee who accused Christian Horner of inappropriate behaviour has lodged a formal complaint with the FIA’s ethics committee, according to reports. Horner was recently cleared of the allegations following a Red Bull investigation, which was led by a top independent lawyer and saw the 50-year-old face hours of intense questioning.

The employee who accused Horner stayed in her role after the investigation but did not travel to Bahrain or Saudi Arabia for the opening two races of the season. She was later suspended on full pay but is now said to have taken the matter further by lodging a complaint to Formula One’s governing body.

The woman has registered an official grievance with the FIA’s ethics committee in relation to Horner’s behaviour, according to BBC Sport. The report adds that she has appealed Red Bull’s decision to dismiss her complaint and is set to ask the team to reconsider their verdict.
