F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem are set to meet in Bahrain on Friday to discuss the allegations levelled against Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.
Horner has been accused of inappropriate and controlling behavior by a female employee at Red Bull. The Austrian energy drinks company initiated an internal investigation on the Briton, which ended in him being cleared of any accusations.
Red Bull wanted to respect the privacy of both parties and keep the details of the case private. However, an email leaked 79 pictures of alleged WhatsApp conversations between Horner and the female employee.
Though there was no confirmation that the leaked pictures were real, it took the F1 world by storm. According to Sky Sports, both F1 and FIA heads will meet in Bahrain to discuss the situation surrounding the Red Bull boss.
