Horner vehemently denies these claims, and was cleared of any wrongdoing by the investigation, before supposed messages allegedly sent by Horner were leaked during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend.

The FIA and F1 bosses held discussions with Horner around the anonymous leak of the supposed messages, and multiple rivals claimed that there should be an external investigation into the allegations.

A figure close to the Verstappen family, they report, was one of the people involved in the talks, with the team looking to resolve the matter before the start of the Saudi Arabian GP weekend.
