Christian Horner shut down a reporter when asked a question about his accuser.

The Red Bull boss has since addressed claims that he behaved inappropriately towards a female member of Red Bull staff.

Horner was cleared of the allegations following an independent investigation from Red Bull, and it was reported today that the member of staff who accused Horner has now been suspended.

"There's been a lot of coverage surrounding this," he said at a news conference in Saudi Arabia.

"One has to go back to the basis. A grievance was raised, fully investigated and it was dismissed. We move onwards.

"It has been of great interest in different elements of the media for different reasons.

"I think it's time to draw a line under it. And to focus on what is going on track."

Red Bull said last week: "The independent investigation into the allegations made against Mr Horner is complete, and Red Bull can confirm that the grievance has been dismissed.

"The complainant has a right of appeal.

"Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial.

"The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned.

"Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards."

When a reporter tried to ask Horner about his accuser, he said: "This is confidential. I am not at liberty [to talk about it].

"We are all bound by the same restrictions. Even if I'd like to talk about it, I can't. This has been trying in many respects.

"The scrutiny on my marriage - I've got a beautiful family - it's been very trying.

"When there [are] children involved, and family involved, it's not pretty.

"My wife has been hugely supportive, as has my family, but the intrusion on my family is now enough, and we need to move forward and focus on what we are here for.

"It is time now to focus on why we are here which is to go Formula One racing."
