Nicole Carling, who has been contacted by journalists to inquire whether she wanted to speak about Horner, is acting as ‘interim executive assistant’ – that is her email sign-off. It would seem to derail rumours that she was going to air grievances about any maltreatment by Horner.

Carling is not in Japan for this weekend’s race. A source close to the scene says: ‘One of the complainant’s grievances was that she was not allowed to go to as many races as she would have liked to. But she was asked to stay on Japan/Singapore time, eating into her “time off”.’

Pole Position has learned that a resolution to the women’s complaint was due for completion this week or the next. That timeframe, however, has been delayed since the employee complained this week that she is feeling ‘lonely’, and, it is presumed, unable to provide evidence at this stage for that reason.
