The Red Bull Formula 1 employee who raised a complaint against team boss Christian Horner has had their appeal denied.
In March earlier this year the complainant had their misconduct complaint against Horner dismissed, before they exercised their right to appeal.
The case was reassessed by another external barrister who has now revealed also dismissed the grievance.
"Earlier this year a complaint raised against Christian Horner was investigated," a statement from Red Bull GmbH, issued on August 8, read.
"That complaint was dealt with through the company's grievance procedure by the appointment of an independent KC who dismissed the grievance.
"The complainant exercised the right to appeal, and the appeal was carried out by another independent KC.
"All stages of the appeal process have now been concluded, with the final outcome that the appeal is not upheld. The KC's conclusions have been accepted and adopted by Red Bull.
"The internal process has concluded.
"The company respects the privacy of all its employees and will not be making further public comment on this matter at the time.
"Red Bull is committed to continuing to meet the highest workplace standards."
Horner has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and in Jeddah in March, said it was "unfortunate" that the leakage of alleged material against Horner to senior F1 figures and journalists had "garnered an awful lot of coverage".
