The 50-year-old's future has been up in the air ever since, and the female employee who originally made the allegations has been suspended on full pay from the company.

Former Red Bull employee returns

Horner has maintained his position as CEO and team principal of the world champions throughout, and vehemently denies the claims made against him.

The returning employee, who has been named by the Daily Mail, is reportedly helping Horner with his day-to-day responsibilities.

The ongoing speculation, although not affecting the team's dominance on-track, has led to turbulence within the team, with the futures of the likes of Helmut Marko, Max Verstappen and Adrian Newey thrown into doubt.

The suspended employee at the centre of the chaos surrounding the Red Bull team has been said to be 'very scared and very upset' about the whole situation, according to a close friend who recently described her feelings to the BBC.
