Horner denies all allegations against him and was cleared of any wrongdoing by Red Bull following an internal investigation.
However, the matter has continued to hang over the team after documents containing messages supposedly sent by Horner were leaked in Bahrain and has since resulted in several key personnel being linked with moves away from the team, including Helmut Marko, Adrian Newey and Max Verstappen.
