Christian Horner's accuser reportedly wants to get back to work at Red Bull

Christian Horner's accuser reportedly wants to return to Red Bull and return to work following the investigation saga.

Back in February, Horner was accused of inappropriate behavior by a female employee. The team's parent company initiated an internal investigation against the Briton but found him not guilty. The situation escalated when an anonymous email leaked alleged conversations between Horner and the female employee.

Christian Horner continued to deny any allegations made against him but cooperated during the investigation. He stated that he wanted the situation to be resolved as soon as possible so he could focus on helping the team secure the world championship.

While Red Bull was dealing with the issue, they reportedly decided to remove the female employee from the team and refrained from commenting on it. Following her suspension, reports emerged about the anonymous employee complaining about Horner to the FIA ethics committee. If her appeal failed, she also planned to take the matter to an employment tribunal.

According to recent reports from The Independent, it is understood that the female employee now wants to return to the Austrian team. The report also claims that she understands that the matter can take quite a while to be resolved and wants it to be dealt with privately.

City A.M. has also claimed that the employee refused to accept offers from media outlets to leak her story to the public.
