The Red Bull Racing Formula One employee who filed a complaint that prompted an inquiry into alleged wrongdoing by team principal Christian Horner has been suspended, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The person requested anonymity because Red Bull has not published any specifics about the probe.
Red Bull Racing’s parent firm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Last Monday, the team’s parent corporation dropped a complaint against Horner for alleged misconduct with a team employee.
A day later, during practice for the Bahrain Grand Prix, a file allegedly containing evidence against Horner was emailed to over 200 people in the F1 paddock, including Liberty Media, F1, the FIA, the other nine team heads, and several media agencies.
The authenticity of the files has not been verified by the AP; the file came from a generic email account.
