Ludo van Denderen is a motorsport journalist at GPblog, specializing in Formula 1 and international racing series.

Christian Horner looks set to stay on as Red Bull Racing team boss. According to several British media outlets, he has been cleared of the allegations of inappropriate behaviour. At 15:30 UK time, Red Bull will issue a statement.

The independent lawyer who was engaged has reportedly concluded that Horner is not guilty of inappropriate behaviour.

However, according to various media, it is not entirely certain that Horner will remain as team boss. We will hear more about this at 3:30pm UK time/4:30pm CET when the parent company will release a statement. This statement has now been published.
