It was of key importance that the whole incident would come to a close prior to the first F1 race of this season. Time was of the essence. And effectively, the incident was wrapped up on the brink of the Bahrain race weekend (Red Bull HQ statement was released only a few minutes after touchdown of the private jet with Horner in Bahrain). Horner can now shake off any related question by journalists (e.g. "Red Bull has dismissed the grievance. Next question, please.").
"Horner cleared by investigation - Torment over: Geri Halliwell ‘relieved & elated’ after weeks of hell as F1 husband Christian Horner cleared of sending improper texts
Geri was said to have been left 'in floods of tears' when the scandal first broke"

"A source told The Sun last night: “Christian’s career, his marriage and his reputation were attacked but there are now no question marks over his character.
“There is no shadow. But questions are being asked about how this happened, why it happened and who was responsible.”" |
I always say, if you're shooting someone, you better not miss.
In this case, their "overwhelming evidence" that was claimed over multiple months/years was not enough, this coming from a 3rd party investigator.
If it was obvious and cut, Horner would have been gone weeks ago.
Another big thing is, no other witnesses came forward to support said employee, which already should ring a bell.
This really seems like a case of "he hurt my feelings"
In a sport where everything is quick and everyone needs to carry their weight, if someone slacks, the whole team can pay for it, you don't win championships on laziness, I'm sure Horner probably yelled at her and said more insults than he should have.
