Christian Horner reportedly told his fellow F1 team principals that he was innocent of the claims that Red Bull investig▨ated him over.

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

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 meetin𒁏g in London on Monday February 5 to tell his rival team bosses that he was inno💞cent of the allegations made against him.

Days later, he was grilled for hours by an independe♔nt lawyer.

This week, Horner departed the UK for Bahrain o🏅n aꦆ private jet still unclear on the outcome of the investigation.

There was a possibility he might have to immedi🌜ately go back home.

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

Horner had “widespread support” within the Red Bull F1 team’s Mil🍒ton Keynes headquarters.

The newspaper claims that some employees might have e🧸ven quit in solidarity with Horner.

Horner was exonerated o๊🔯f wrongdoing on Wednesday after arriving in Bahrain.

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

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

"The complainant has a right of appeal.

"The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all conc🌺erned.
