Christian Horner has issued a statement after an anonymous source leaked what it claimed to be evidence of the Red Bull F1 team principal’s alleged inapprop൩riate behaviour. 

On Wednesday the 50-year-old was cleared✱ of wrongdoing following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate and controlling behaviour that were made against him by a female colleague.

But just 24 hours later, an anonymous email waꦑs sent to more than 100 individuals, including high-profile figures in the🦄 sport and team principals.

Members of the media also received the email containing a Google Drive link, which has been seen by ltxcn.top and included screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnd images.

Whether the contents of the email are real🎉 have not been verified as yet.

Responding to the alleged leak of evidence, Red Bull team principal Christian🍸 Horner issued the following statement to media in Bahrain.

“I won’t comment on anonymous speculation, bu🐼t to reiterate I have always denied the allegations, I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully cooperated with it every step of the way,” Horner said.

“It was a thorough and fair investigation conducted by an independent specialist barrister and it has concluded dismissing the complaint made. I remain fully focused on the start of theౠ season.”

No further comment from Horner or Red Bull is expected today and ltxcn.top understands Horner will be at the Bahr🐻ain circuit on Friday for qualifying ahead of the season-opening grand p𓃲rix.

It comes after fellow team principals Toto Wolff and Zak Brown urged tran𒀰sparency on the matter, with Mercedes boss Wolff criticising what he described as being a “basic” and “vag♍ue” statement from Red Bull.

Horner broke his silence on the invest🧸igation on Thursday morning, telling Sky Sports News: "I'm just pleased that the process is over.

ꦫ"Obviously, I can't comment about it, but we are here very much toꦺ focus now on the Grand Prix and the season ahead and trying to defend both of our titles."

When asked if Red Bull remains unified, Horner stressed: "Within the team it has never bee🦂n stronger.”

There ha𓄧s been speculation of a power struggle within Red Bull for some time, with reports claiming some figures were even trying to oust Horner.

The timing of the anon💛ymous email is particularly intriguing, suggesting there are individuals who still wish to discredit F1's longest-serving team principal.
