Days after the Red Bull headquarters announced that Christian Horner has been found not guilty of inappropriate behaviour, there is renewed confusion. An anonymous e-mail address has shared alleged WhatsApp conversations with the media, Formula 1, the FIA and F1 team bosses.

Horner was accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female Red Bull employee, but an independent lawyer ruled after an extensive investigation that Horner should be cleared of any wrongdoing. It was then decided that Horner can stay on at the racing team.

Less than 24 hours later, a Google Drive link full of pictures of messages was shared with hundreds of people. Incidentally, it is absolutely not certain that the messages are genuine.
