This whole matter is a nonsense.
It has become a 'trial by media' or a 'trial by social media' as if what people think in their own minds is all pure and unbiased.
Having Toto and Zak interviewed and a discussion about whether the FIA should be involved is just trying to create a storm for Horner.
There is no 'moral high ground' in any of this.
Look at the sequence.
A female employee has a concern about something Horner said or did.
She goes to make a complaint to the owner of the subsidiary company.
It begins an investigation.
A Dutch newspaper gets a hold of some speculative talk and publishes that speculative talk.
At about the same time rumors of a rift between the accused and the father of the teams Dutch driver become public.
Dutch media publishes speculation about the nature of the alleged offences.
There is no confirmation of anything except for the acknowledgement of an investigation by Red Bull, the owner of RBR.
An independent barrister has been hired to interview Horner and head the investigation.
Horner is allowed to carry on working AND the person who brought the complaint continues to work at RBR.
The Dutch paper's speculative talk about the nature of the incident s is never confirmed and there is mention of legal suits against the paper being brought.
Then the parent company says the complaint has been dismissed.
So there was never enough confirmation, or the complainant never brought enough to the investigation, to show that Horner did in fact show 'controlling' or 'abusive behaviors'.
This investigation included questioning third parties who worked in the RBR environment.
Both Horner and the complainant have legal protections over privacy and information concerning the investigation and findings that should protect them from public scrutiny, particularly the complainant should she desire to continue working at RBR.
RBR issued a statement saying the allegations had been investigated and the complaint dismissed.
It is nobody else's business. The complainant holds the right to take it further if she wishes to do so.
She may prefer to continue her career at RBR.
No one has the right to violate her privacy.
Whatever speculation has been made it is just that, speculation.
If there was merit in the allegation or the nature of it then the rights to expose anything Horner did that was really wrong, is in her hands. If it was anything that was worthy of Horner's dismissal, then the power to do so is with her.
She is not powerless.
She does not need Toto or Zak to champion her cause nor that of the FIA's cause to investigate for the sake of the sports reputation.
That power is actually in her hands if the offence was really worthy of such action.
If you look at this article by Chris Medland on Racer magazine and read the comments of those who read it the arguments are quite interesting.
