Last week, the team’s parent company dismissed a complaint of alleged misconduct by Horner toward a team employee.

A day later during practice for the Bahrain Grand Prix, a file alleged to contain evidence against Horner was emailed to nearly 200 people in the F1 paddock, including Liberty Media, F1, the FIA, the other nine team principals and multiple media outlets.

The authenticity of the files has not been verified by the AP; the file came from a generic email account.
