FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has ruled out any immediate plans to investigate allegations surrounding Christian Horner, despite admitting that the ongoing controversy is “damaging” Formula 1.
Horner has been at the centre of a probe by the Red Bull energy drinks company over claims of inappropriate behaviour made against him by a female employee. Following an eight-week-long investigation by an independent barrister, it was announced on Wednesday night that the complaints against him had been dismissed as there was no evidence of any wrongdoing.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Ben Sulayem felt that it would be wrong of the FIA to “jump the gun” and act on its own, but clarified that it would “look into any complaint that comes through our compliance officer”.
