SAKHIR, Bahrain (Reuters) -Christian Horner will remain the boss of Formula One champions Red Bull after the team's energy drink parent company said on Wednesday he had been cleared of alleged misconduct toward a female employee.

Red Bull issued a statement after an independent investigation, over which the team had no control, and ahead of Saturday's season-opening race in Bahrain.
