Horner was the main focus of attentioཧn at the F1 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix after allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him were dismissed on Wednesday.

"I've always been entirely c💖🌃onfident that I would be here," he said.
"There was a full, lengthy internal process thatꦰ was completed by an independent KC. And the grievance that was raised was dismissed. End of. Move on."
