The appeal against the investigation that cleared Red Bull team principal Christian Horner of allegations of coercive, abusive behavior, and sexual harassment has been dismissed. An independent lawyer initially dismissed the complaint in February, and another independent barrister confirmed this decision after reviewing the appeal. Red Bull announced that it respects the privacy of its employees and will not provide further comment on the matter. The female employee who lodged the complaint remains suspended and may pursue a legal tribunal. Despite the controversy, Horner has maintained his role within the team.
