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

I think this is a prime example of why famous women should never take their husband's name upon marriage.

No woman should change her name on marriage. Ever. Famous or not

Some people can be happily married , love their partner, but enjoy the excitement of sex on the side. It doesn’t mean anything. I suspect mor4 men than women. But sleeping with someone doesn’t mean in every case you’re unhappily married. He was clearly not for leaving Geri and enjoyed their life together.

I mean I couldn’t do it, but it’s not uncommon.

I’m sure it would mean plenty to the spouse that was cheated on but each to their own I guess

I’m a bit annoyed that the Daily Fail article doesn’t really convey the inventiveness of the humour on this thread. It makes us sounds about as clever as Christian Horner. We are worth more than this Ladies! [jabs GlisteningFinger accusingly]

Are you absolutely sure it's a finger? @ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger
A fairly spunky looking finger 👈

Call me a pedant but I don’t think that you can describe yourself as in a happy marriage unless both parties know exactly what is going on and are happy about it.

I also don’t think Geri has covered herself in glory in the past, but for fucks sakes she got three children to think of now. Three children with this man. It’s disgusting. I hope she leaves him and shows her daughters that men cannot treat them this way. (And yes, before anyone says ‘but she didn’t think of his first child when his ex was pregnant’ no she didn’t, but I still feel for their kids, in facts all his kids, it’s not their fault their father has no morals and they have to grow up knowing he’s gross)

She's got one boy with Christian, Monty. She's got Bluebell to a film producer. He has got Olivia.

Her insta birthday post to Olivia was interesting. 'Happy birthday Olivia, Love Christian'. Christian and not dad? Spoke volumes.

Wasn’t Christian also step-dad to Bev’s children from a previous relationship?

Yeah I think he was.

DiamondGazette · 01/03/2024 19:37

So far we've only heard Christian's side of the story. I can't wait to read Geri's. The Mail online have said she's having a meltdown, but is she? I doubt she's been kept completely in the dark about all of this. She's probably raging because she's embarrased at the exposure of her faux fairytale marriage. I hope she dumps him, but I bet she won't.

When I was younger and more foolish I had an affair with a married man at work. Not something I'm proud of but I can't turn the clock back. I'm ashamed of it now.
These messages are exactly the sort of thing we would have been writing had WhatsApp been around at the time. The banality of it shows the intimacy in some ways. Definitely have had an affair.

I agree, when you're in that space you find all the reasons in the world to talk to each other.

sansol · 01/03/2024 19:44

@ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger many people can claim to be happily married and still play away. A lot of it comes down to ego, men still want to feel attractive and like they can chase/conquer women. It's more to do with their bravado or sometimes insecurities than an unhappy marriage.

Some women might also be flattered by the more senior/successful man, perhaps that is a sign of insecurity or they develop genuine feelings for the other man. I still don't think those women leave their husbands.

Lion400 · 01/03/2024 19:44

His messages read as if they are written by someone with a mental age of about 14.

Inkanta · 01/03/2024 19:45

Hope Geri is strong enough to dump him.

Riverlee · 01/03/2024 19:47

Are the twitter text genuine?

imhappytoday98 · 19/02/2024 14:45

I want to know more details re what he is supposed to have done as some talk of bullying which he denies and inappropriate messages to a female colleague.
I want to know the details as I wasn't impressed with how he dumped his wife when she was pregnant to be with Geri. Geri was ruthless too At chasing him. No thought for his wife.
So if he has done anything inappropriate to another colleague i hope he doesn't fall on his feet again.
To be fair I don't want him to get in trouble if nothing wrong done.
I'm just think when you are getting paid that much money you should always be professional.

Are the twitter text genuine?

There’s nothing concrete to clarify they are, but there’s been no denial, his PA has gone to ground (surely you’d deny them?) and people close to the sources are saying they’re true. Plus they’re so oddly banal that they seem genuine.

I’m inclined to believe them, I feel like if someone was making them up they’d have gone one way or the other harder, if that makes sense.

Omg just saw the slimey finger willy 🤮
I'm not sure it is a finger, the jizz on it🤮

I don't know how he thought his woeful singing of American Pie was going to woo his PA. Absolutely cringe 😂

What? Have I missed something re the singing? Not that this thread isn't funny enough as it is.

Well, Geri has flown in by private jet to Bahrain to join him…

Kenthighst · 01/03/2024 20:04

Yes there was a video of him towards the end singing American Pie with a guy accompanying him on guitar. I'll double check the file number. Seriously cringe 🤮

I'll never be able to listen to American Pie again😅

Janehasamane · 01/03/2024 14:01

For me the startling issue is not he cheated on geri. I mean she knew what she was buying there. Let’s face it.

It’s that he has been cleared by red bull. And they then tried ro say last night it was a private matter.

I guess they maybe saying it’s the aftermath of a consensual relationship so neither should get fired. There is a case to answer in he doesn’t stop when asked, but maybe more going on behind the scenes.

I think there is a lot more to this than we see, even though we see a lot.

I agree with this!

I agree, I don’t think it’s he’s thick or like a child , he’s clearly not, but it’s just the inane conversation that happens.

im not having an affair but if you published my text chains with friends or family it would look equally inane. Daft jokes, one liners, memes, silly pics etc,

Thank you!
I remember now that there was a video that wouldn't load for me, although I saw all the other files.
Going back to look now, with some trepidation 😄

Wintersgirl · 01/03/2024 20:12

Yes those texts show that they're very comfortable with each other, it's the emotional intimacy which is kind of worse in a way....

Inread that apparently the plane took off before all the WhatsApp messages were released so she’s still got a few to peruse when she lands….

Pink39tree · 01/03/2024 20:16

i won’t be surprised now they are leaked that redbull force him to “retire”
its easy for redbull to not sack him and say the investigation is complete prior to this being leaked, now it’s brand damaging for them.
