Sebastian Vettel has called for greater transparency within Formula One amid the Christian Horner 'sex texts' scandal at his old team Red Bull.

The reigning world champions have been engulfed in scandal during the early weeks of the season, with team principal Horner accused of 'coercive behaviour' towards a female colleague.

He was cleared by an internal Red Bull investigation in February before several messages allegedly between Horner and his accuser were leaked to leading F1 figures and journalists via anonymous e-mail.

The complainant, who was suspended by Red Bull, has been left feeling 'very upset, angry, scared, intimidated and lonely' amid the ongoing saga, according to a 'friend'.
