No, peace has not yet returned to Red Bull Racing. Team boss Christian Horner may have been acquitted and the victim in question may have been suspended, but there is still a storm within the Austrian racing stable. Especially now that the woman has filed an official complaint with the FIA motorsport federation. According to British media, she would also appeal to the court.
“She is so disappointed with how it all went. Especially because she did everything by the book,” a friend of the woman in question told the Daily Mail. “She has raised her concerns privately and has done everything right, but feels let down by the company. They suspended her because she followed the correct procedure correctly. There was never any independent investigation.”
According to The Telegraph, the now former employee of Red Bull Racing not only addresses the ethical body of the motorsport federation FIA, as the BBC reported, but she also appeals.
