No doubt a heavy burden has fallen from his shoulders: the moment Christian Horner set foot in Bahrain on Wednesday, Red Bull informed that the team boss had been cleared. On Thursday, the Brit reported to the circuit, where he gave his first reaction to Red Bull's statement.
"I'm just pleased that the process is over," Horner told Sky Sports News. "Obviously, I can't comment about it, but we are here very much to focus now on the Grand Prix and the season ahead and trying to defend both of our titles."

Then Horner was asked if the matter is fully concluded after Red Bull's ruling, he said, "Well, I can't give you any further comment, but the process has been conducted and concluded." Red Bull revealed in a statement that the woman can still appeal the decision.
When asked if Horner had any regrets, he also would not say anything: "Again, I'm not going to be able to give you I'm afraid any further comments on it, but I'm pleased to be here in Bahrain and then with the team focused on the season ahead."
The team boss added: "Within the team it has never been stronger."
