CHRISTIAN HORNER returned to the Formula One paddock this morning with the spotlight firmly back on him, following an extraordinary build-up to tomorrow's Bahrain Grand Prix.
Having been cleared of any wrongdoing over claims of inappropriate behaviour by a female colleague on Wednesday, yesterday an email was leaked purporting to be messages between Horner and the woman in question.
It seemingly once again threw the future of the 50-year-old, who refused to comment in detail on what he dismissed as "anonymous speculation", into serious jeopardy, although it is thought Red Bull Austria deems his job as team principal as safe at this stage in the wake of the leak of the latest twist, which has overshadowed the build-up to the season, the Austrian company said: "This is a private matter between Mr Horner and another, and it would be inappropriate for Red Bull to comment on this."
The leak is being seen as a targeted and personal attack on Horner after he was exonerated from a lengthy investigation in which he was questioned in detail by an external lawyer over the allegations of wrongdoing, which he has denied from the outset.
