Red Bull Racing’s current engine partner Honda has called for increased transparency over the independent investigation which cleared Christian Horner of misconduct called by Red Bull GmbH.
The Japanese company released a statement to BBC on Thursday evening which stated that they were looking forward to revealing further ‘clarity’.
Meanwhile, Horner has arrived at the track in Jeddah ahead of Friday’s qualifying session for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
‘We do not have full details on the matter at this point,’ Honda’s statement read, ‘therefore Honda are not in a position to make any detailed comment.
‘We look forward to full clarity as soon as possible’.
The 50-year-old has been at the centre of a roiling scandal engulfing the sport after being initially cleared due to the anonymous release of a tranch of leaked texts and pictures alleged to have been sent by Horner to the female employee involved in the investigation.
Horner has denied the allegations and stated that he will not comment on ‘anonymous speculation from unknown sources’.
The employee was on Thursday suspended from her role at Red Bull as a direct result of the investigation, with Mail Sport revealing that she had been told her evidence was ‘dishonest’.
