Christian Horner was pictured yawning during Friday's practice session ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, as speculation continues over his future in the wake of his 'sex texts' scandal.
The Red Bull team principal was cleared of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation in February after being accused of 'coercive behaviour' towards a female employee.
However, text messages largely of a sexual nature that were allegedly sent by Horner were then leaked to senior F1 figures and members of the media just 24 hours after he was cleared, raising doubts over his position once again.
Horner has continued to maintain that he has done nothing wrong, insisting it is 'business as normal', but he cut a tired figure on Friday as he yawned his way through the first practice session at the Suzuka circuit.
The 50-year-old looked a little more sprightly as he held conversations with Max Verstappen and Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko on Friday.

Rumours of a power struggle between Horner and Marko have refused to go away in recent weeks, but their chat appeared a positive one as Horner was pictured grinning.
