Christian Horner reportedly told his fellow F1 tea𝓡m principals that he was innocent of the cജlaims that Red Bull investigated him over.

Horner has now been cleared of wrongdoing after the grievance against him was “dismissed” ahead of the season-opening F1 Bahrain Grand Prix this weeke𝓀nd.

The saga has actually lasted eight weeks, since the start of January, 🦄rather than the three weeks that it has been in the public eye,  report.

Horner “interrupted” an F1 Commission meeting in Lo๊ndon on Monday February 5 to tell his rival team bosses that he was innocent of the allegations made against him.

Days later, he was g💃rilled for hours by an independent lawyer.

This week, Horner departed the UK for Bahrain on a private jet still unclear oꦉn the outcom🦋e of the investigation.

There was a possibility h🍸e might have to immediately go back home.

His jet stopped off in Austria to collect Helmut Marko because Horner was “eager to put on a united ꦦfront”, the report states.

Horner had ও“widespread support” within the Red Bull F1 team’s Milton Keynes he💖adquarters.

The new🦋spaper claims that some emplo✨yees might have even quit in solidarity with Horner.

Horner was exonerated🥃 of wrongdoing on Wednesday ♒after arriving in Bahrain.

Horner has since told Sky Sports about Red Bull’s unity: “Within the team, i𒅌t has never been stronger.”

A statement from a Red Bull spokesperson on Wednesday confirmed: "The independent investigation 🌊into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.
