The decision is likely to keep the matter as a significant point of discussion in Formula 1 and perpetuate a cloud of uncertainty over the season.

The unidentified woman was suspended last week following an investigation conducted by a respected independent lawyer, whose identity remains undisclosed, absolving Horner of any wrongdoing.

The 50-year-old team principal vehemently denied the unspecified allegations made against him. According to the British media, the accuser has since hired new legal representation, granting her additional time to file an appeal.

Red Bull GmbH, the controlling company of the Austrian-based F1 World Champions, has not provided immediate confirmation.

On February 28, prior to the start of the season, Red Bull GmbH released a concise statement stating that the claimant had the right to appeal after the dismissal of the claim.

The energy drink company also expressed confidence in the justice, thoroughness, and impartiality of the investigation, although there have been calls for greater transparency since no specific details were disclosed.

Horner faced a barrage of questions during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last week and may anticipate more questioning when the circus arrives in Australia next week.

The British team principal, who is married to Geri Halliwell of the Spice Girls, has consistently urged for the focus to be redirected to the races.

Red Bull had a dominant start to the year, securing two consecutive victories led by F1 triple champion Max Verstappen. However, off-track events raised doubts about Verstappen’s future with the team.

After the opening Bahrain Grand Prix, Verstappen’s father, Jos, warned that the team risked disintegration if Horner remained in charge.

The 26-year-old Dutch driver also hinted that the continued presence of Red Bull’s 80-year-old consultant, Helmut Marko, is crucial for him to stay, as he feared being fired by the Austrian.

Media reports also highlighted internal divisions within Red Bull, a company mostly (51%) owned by Thai billionaire Chalerm Yoovidhya, who showed support for Horner. (Reported by Alan Baldwin)
