The sport has made great strides in recent years only to become mired in this latest controversy. Someone needs to show leadership
Last week, Christian Horner sternly fended off questions from the press about how Formula One had become engulfed in a media storm that has overshadowed the opening races of the season in Bahrain and, this weekend, Saudi Arabia.
The Red Bull team principal has been mired in controversy after allegations of inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards a female colleague became public earlier this month. After an internal investigation dismissed the grievance, a dossier of Horner’s alleged WhatsApp messages to the woman were leaked, and then on Thursday the team suspended the complainant.
