Christian Horner reportedly told his fellow F1 team principalꦏs that he was innocent of the claims 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 ꦦPrix this weekend.

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

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

Days later, he was grill𒆙ed for hours by an independent lawyer.

This week, Horner departed the UK for Bahrain on a private jet still unclear on the outcome of thಞe investigation.

There w🎉as a possibility he might have ღto immediately go back home.

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

Horner had “widespread support” within the Red Bull F1 team’s Milton Keynes head❀quarters.

The newspaper claims that s𝔉ome ൩employees might have even quit in solidarity with Horner.

Horner was 𒉰exonerated of wrongdoing on Wednesday after arriving in Bahrain.

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

A statement from a Red Bull spokespeꦗrson on Wednesday confirmed: "The in🦂dependent 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.

"Red Bu𝓀ll is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and 🐈impartial.

"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 concerned♈.

"Red Bull will continue striving to ๊meet the highest workplace standards."
