On Saturday evening it emerged that the woman who had made claims against Christian Horner for “inappropriate behaviour” had now lodged a formal complaint against him with the FIA.
According to BBC Sport, the complaint was registered by the federation’s ethics committee. It also became known that this is the third complaint against the head of Red Bull Racing received by the FIA over the past month and a half. The first is dated February 2, and its author asks the federation to intervene in the situation because he fears that Red Bull may try to hush up the matter.
The second complaint was filed on March 6 and warned that the next step would be to release information related to the Horner Affair to the press.
A statement issued by the FIA on Saturday said: “Requests and complaints are received and reviewed by the federation’s legal officer and by the ethics committee when necessary. Both operate autonomously, ensuring strict confidentiality during the review process.
Both as a result and generally, we are unable to acknowledge receipt of any complaints and are unlikely to provide further comment on complaints we may receive from anyone.”
Red Bull Racing also declined to comment, saying only that it was not aware that a complaint had been filed with the FIA. Previously, the employee of the team with whom this whole story began was suspended from work because she was accused of dishonesty.
Christian Horner has always denied all accusations made against him.
