The 50-year-old has continued in his role during the investigation and has 'completely' denied the allegations against him.

Horner missing from first press conference of 2024
Horner was present during the three days of pre-season testing in Bahrain, but he looks set to be missing from the first press conference of the season amid the investigation.
The following day is the turn of the team principals, where the Red Bull boss’ name is not included on a sheet provided by F1 – instead featuring Visa Cash App RB chief Laurent Mekies.
Mekies will be joined by Fred Vasseur of Ferrari, Zak Brown of McLaren and Toto Wolff of Mercedes.
While the outcome of Red Bull’s investigation has loomed over the F1 world throughout the off-season, it has been reported that Red Bull GmbH have reached their verdict on the matter, and an announcement is expected before the start of the opening race of the season.
It means that it will not interfere with the team’s world championship defence, but it is certainly expected that the media will be following Red Bull closely in Bahrain.
