Horner crisis rumbles on as suspended employee 'returns' to Red Bull

A former Red Bull employee has returned to the team, it has been reported, in another twist in the Christian Horner saga.

Horner was the subject of an internal investigation into his conduct following accusations of alleged 'inappropriate behaviour', allegations he has denied throughout and was cleared of by the investigation.

The 50-year-old's future has been up in the air ever since, and the female employee who originally made the allegations has been suspended on full pay from the company.

Now, The Daily Mail's Jonathan McEvoy has suggested that Horner's former personal assistant has returned to the team, acting as an 'interim executive assistant'.

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.
