Christian Horner has hit out at the 'leakage' of 'private and confidential' information after he was cleared of any wrongdoing by an independent investigation.
The Red Bull team principal has also called for 'intrusion' into his family and marriage with Geri Halliwell to come to an end.
Horner was subject to allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female colleague at Red Bull at the beginning of February.
An independent investigation took place and he was cleared ahead of the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain last week.

However, less than 24 hours later, an anonymous email account leaked alleged messages and photographs purporting to be evidence in the investigation.
Former Spice Girl Halliwell, who married Horner in 2015, put on a united front with her husband at the race last Saturday.
Horner has faced calls to resign from the position he has held since 2005, with Jos Verstappen saying Red Bull would 'explode' if he stays.
His marriage to Halliwell has heightened the publicity of the saga since it first came to light over a month ago.
Horner says it has been a 'very trying' period which has placed 'scrutiny' on his marriage.
The 50-year-old thanked Halliwell for her support, saying: "It's obviously been a very trying period.
"I'm married and have three children. And when that intrusion includes your children and the scrutiny that is placed upon your marriage...
"I'm very fortunate that I have a beautiful family and a very supportive wife. Of course, It's very trying, it's very challenging.
"When there's children involved, parents, families, it's not pretty."
Horner is angry at the leaks that have come out surrounding his investigation and has called for the intrusion to end.
He added: "The intrusion on my family is now enough. We need to move forward. It's time now to focus on why we're here, which is to go Formula One racing.
"There's been one thing after and a lot of leakage around what is a private and confidential matter between the employees and the company.

"It's unfortunately through that leakage garnered an awful lot of coverage."
Horner's accuser has been suspended by Red Bull, while Halliwell is now set to be in Saudi Arabia for this weekend's race.
The Red Bull chief also reacted to comments made by Jos Verstappen and revealed discussions had been held since the weekend.
However, he wouldn't divulge the content of the talks, saying: "There was a discussion subsequent to the race and I think everybody's focus is very much on the future.

"The team's focus is very much on defending both of these world titles we have fought so hard to achieve.
"Our focus is very much on the future and, as I say, discussions took place following the race in Bahrain and we are all looking forward.
"I'm not going to air all the discussions that are private between the parties.
"Discussions have been inevitably had and the team is focused on the challenges ahead of us. The team is very focused on the season ahead."
