However, supposed messages that were allegedly sent by Horner were anonymously leaked during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, causing rival team bosses to call for transparency, while Horner held meetings with FIA and Formula 1 bosses.

It was then revealed that the female employee who made the allegations against Horner had been suspended from Red Bull, on full pay.

Now, The Times are reporting that the suspended employee is launching an appeal, with new legal representation reported to be on her side.

The saga has caused much media furore and speculation around the world champions, with several key figures' futures up in the air, including Horner's.

Helmut Marko, Adrian Newey and even Max Verstappen have been the subject of swirling rumours as the 'turbulence' - as Marko himself called it - has ripped through the F1 paddock.

It remains to be seen how long it will take for a complete resolution to the issue, with the Australian GP weekend starting at the end of March as the Milton Keynes-based team look to defend both of their championship crowns.
