Red bull formula one boss
What's the story?
Someone mentioned he is hero Halliwell's husband but could be in trouble at work?

Even if Horner is sacked from Red Bull, he's a confirmed success-maker for the team, so someone else will take him on. He's a competitor in life, he won't want to just sit back and sit in his manor.

Hope this leaking and exposure wipes the smile of his smug - "I've been cleared" face. What a dumb ass.

I guess they were leaked because he was cleared. I'd be fuming too!

I’d put money on it being because one half of the power struggle want him out.

i don’t think for a single second it’s because any of them give a shit about the woman involved.

I remember when Geri's "best friend" George Michael died and she released a song about him. No idea what it was like as literally no one listened to it.

Using your friend's death to resurrect your music career - shameless.

Yep, no sympathy for Geri here, you lose 'em how you get 'em.

What did she see in this boring plank of wood in a boiler suit?

As for the messages - in one of them he says he's going to have Coco Pops and go to bed.

If Christian Horner worked in Asda stocking the shelves with Coco Pops she wouldn't look twice at him. Fact.

@sansol nobody would say it about Emma Bunton because afaik she's been with the same partner for years and doesnt go after other people's. Girl Power my arse

Janehasamane · 01/03/2024 16:17

Also whomever leaked had full access to the private or work emails of all the formula one bosses, and max Verstappen. The email went to about 150 people.

which says to me, someone in red bull , someone had all the private contact details. Very few have that.

whuch makes me wonder if it was her.

its someone with full access to the evidence, and privy to all the contact details. Thats not a huge amount of people. It’s tiny. However she would have.

He won’t find another team as successful though.

Mercedes won’t get rid of Wolff for him, and he’s not Ferrari material, so big jobs are limited.

None of the rest of the teams have Red Bull’s funding pot or resources either.

They were already split by he time she was born, and it was IVF. No one knows if it was his sperm.

Genuine question: how can anyone other than Christian, Beverley, Geri, their consultant and maybe their closest friends know this? Unless The One Show has got a lot more intrusive in its interview style lately.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 01/03/2024 16:23

I'm not sure @Janehasamane knows how IVF works.

I get the girl power irony with regard to what Geri has done but there were many other strange comments under the umbrella of Geri did not deserve her success or commercial rewards from the Spice Girls, and generally criticised them. They were hugely successful, and that is not in doubt.

I've seen it IRL where people are perfectly pleasant until someone is knocked slightly and then the knives come out.

herecomesthesun24 · 01/03/2024 16:24

He's a twat and tried to use power to bury the fact he's cheated. It would have been better for him if he'd just admitted the affair and apologised as now he's got his dirty laundry on show for everyone.

It's not really a surprise he's a cheating bastard though is it? My BIL's first wife divorced him for cheating and despite being happily married to my SIL (still is!) guess who it turned out was shagging around again!?

Absolutely. No one knows exactly what happened in this relationship.

underthebun · 01/03/2024 16:25

I like the Spice girls but people dislike cheating, it’s just a thing

MagnificentHats · 01/03/2024 16:29

Is the PA still working for him? If not, then the leak is surely her 'fuck you' for losing her job. I'm sure she hoped the investigation would out his sleazy behaviour, and when it didn't she took matters into her own hands.

ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger · 01/03/2024 16:30

It’s funny how these PA jobs are never filled by very capable women in their late fifties, or hyper-organised gay men.

At best horner is a sleeze. While Geri isn't responsible for horners' behaviour, it seems that old cliche has been brought to life. When she married him, she created a vacancy

This !

If being involved with a man whose romantic partner has just given birth is Girl Power, I'm out.

As someone wrote on here, how you get them is how you lose them.

Geri aspired to being Lady of the Manor.
To outposh Posh.
Be careful what you wish for.

What intrigues me is how so many of you have seen the leaked texts. Where ?

Raincloudsonasunnyday · 01/03/2024 16:40

I wonder what Horner's parents (who famously didn't attend his wedding to Geri Halliwell) are thinking right now.....

Red Bull stinks. (They probably all do, in their way, I guess it's just RB's time). Jos Verstappen has done such a number on his son, I almost feel sorry for him (Max, that is).

Sleep with dogs, get fleas. The whole debacle is tawdry and sleazy and depressingly predictable.

Welcome to the World of F1. Pretty much everyone working in it is either male or young and very attractive. And the work culture is still in the jurassic era. Infidelity is the norm rather than the exception.

Illsendanemail · 01/03/2024 16:43

Rubytoos · 01/03/2024 13:05

What is the outlook for the PA? Is she still in post? Whatever we think of her this inquiry result smacks of the Company siding with Senior Male Employee. No wonder women can’t be arsed to report this kind of behaviour

Didn’t she engage with this type of behaviour or were all the messages unsolicited. It’s a genuine question. I haven’t clicked on any dodgy link.

Well a relative has spoken out, and denied there was a relationship, and also wasn’t aware of the messages. which I’m not sure is true on the relationship it really doesn’t read that way , so I think it’s a parent.

im not sure the woman has been crucified either, I think it’s Christian who is being crucified, as both married and in the power position.

My DH was sent the Google Drive yesterday and we were reading some of the messages last night. They were cringe worthy. A boss cracking onto his PA 🤢. But I also think it’s a finger.

But my favourite message was the one where he was telling her to make sure she deletes the exchange in case her phone gets hacked… he could see the future… I want to ask him what tonight’s lottery numbers are

I would be careful you don't want to get your husband into trouble. You could be sued. Mumsnet has to comply if the court asks for personal details.

But the leaks depend on the woman having saved the messages, doesn't it? (Especially after Horner asked her to delete the conversations.) And then having made screen shots? Or at the least, handing her phone over so someone else could. She must be in on this. And I don't blame her for it.
