Complaint
This programme included a discussion of the allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against the racing driver Christian Horner. A listener complained the coverage relied on the views of an “unqualified party with a vested interest” and therefore lacked impartiality.
Outcome
The ECU found the programme included a range of views on the issue, including those of Mr Horner himself, and this ensured the programme met the BBC’s requirements for due impartiality, irrespective of whether the commentator named by the complainant had a vested interest.
