Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has again denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour after a series of alleged messages were leaked.

Horner was cleared on Wednesday after an internal investigation into his behaviour towards a female colleague.

An anonymous email with a link to messages purporting to involve Horner was sent to Formula 1 personnel and media on Thursday.

"I won't comment on anonymous speculation," said Horner.

"But, to reiterate, I have always denied the allegations."

A drive of messages was on a link in the email, which was sent to 149 people involved in the sport.

Horner's statement added: "I respected the integrity of the independent investigation and fully co-operated with it every step of the way.

"It was a thorough and fair investigation conducted by an independent specialist barrister and it has concluded, dismissing the complaint made. I remain fully focused on the start of the season."

A spokesperson for Red Bull GmbH, the parent company of the F1 team, said on Thursday: "This is a private matter between Mr Horner and another and it would be inappropriate for Red Bull to comment on this."

Red Bull GmbH declined to reveal any information about the internal investigation.

Its statement on Wednesday said: "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."

On Thursday at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Mercedes and McLaren bosses Toto Wolff and Zak Brown called for more transparency from Red Bull on the investigation.

The messages have been brought to the attention of governing body the FIA and it is discussing the matter with F1 management.

Lewis Hamilton led a Mercedes one-two in Friday practice at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Hamilton was 0.206 seconds quicker than team-mate George Russell with Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso just 0.08secs further adrift.

Pre-season favourite Max Verstappen was down in sixth, 0.477secs off the pace.

However, the three-time world champion appeared to be the fastest as expected when the teams switched to race-simulation runs later in the session.

But this practice session was harder to read from the outside even than normal, as the teams did not run it in the same manner as has become typical.

Behind Alonso, Ferrari's Carlos Sainz was fourth quickest ahead of McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

Experienced nurses find fulfilling careers in positions of responsibility, often running nurse-led clinics, or taking leadership roles at executive level. It is possible to develop your career in clinical, research, education and management roles.

A typical day in nursing is busy and diverse; nurses don't just work in hospitals. There are opportunities to work in GP surgeries, clinics, nursing and residential homes, occupational health services, voluntary organisations, the pharmaceutical industry, or in the military.

Each university sets its own requirements, so make sure you check with them before applying. This is usually around five GCSEs plus two A-levels or equivalent. You will also have to:

• demonstrate evidence of literacy and numeracy
• complete a health questionnaire and identify any special needs related to a disability
