Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley has expressed his dissatisfaction with the unresolved allegations of inappropriate behavior by Red Bull Racing leadership in a letter sent to the team. The letter, dated Friday, highlights Ford's request for further information into the investigation of Red Bull's team principal, Christian Horner, which was announced by the team's parent company on Feb. 5. The investigation initially focused on allegations of an aggressive management style but has since shifted to reports of sexual misconduct. Horner has denied any wrongdoing and has called for a quick resolution.

Farley emphasized the importance of shared values between Ford and its racing partners, urging for a prompt and fair resolution to the matter. Despite showing trust in the fairness of the investigation, Ford remains frustrated by the lack of transparency and a clear timeline for resolving the issue.

The call for action from Ford comes as the Formula 1 community awaits a resolution to the investigation, with the new season set to begin next weekend. The investigation into Horner reportedly involved nearly 100 pieces of evidence, including an alleged six-figure settlement offer to the accuser.

While both Formula 1 and the governing body FIA have issued statements pressing for a resolution, Red Bull's corporate partners, including Larry Ellison of Oracle and Ryan McInerney of Visa, have yet to comment on the matter. Farley's letter has underscored the urgency of addressing the situation, as the future of Horner with Red Bull may hinge on the outcome of the investigation and potential negotiations between the company's ownership stakeholders.

Ford's public stance marks the company as the sole corporate partner of Red Bull to speak out on the issue, setting a precedent for accountability and shared values in their partnership moving forward. With the spotlight on Red Bull and Horner amid the upcoming F1 season, the call for a resolution grows increasingly urgent.
