Red bull formula one boss
What's the story?

Quite a controlling manipulative vibe in the texts and she really didn’t seem that into him. Very one sided without him seeming to realise.
Thinking about Geri, I wonder if she’ll start wearing colour again, as the white clothes are part of the past era?

It only shows some elements of the messages and not what preceded or followed it. No fan of CH but what was leaked isn’t showing the full conversation. The man is a total d,?! but he will get away with it . The PA also didn’t have to send through photos as he requested them . She could have chosen to ignore these requests. From what I could deduce from those messages it was a sexual relationship that she ended as he wasn’t planning to leave his wife and family. PA clearly loved her job and didn’t want to move on. I’m sure it’s exciting to be in that type of role and travel private jet , stay in exclusive hotels , be part of that lifestyle. I hope for her sake she is receiving support as RB will cut her off without any thought. No matter how good she was in her job.

With his Willy fingers round him?

Yep, he was doing that wiggle finger movement (y'know the one after a fist bump) with all five willy fingers wiggling independently 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

I don't like the sound of that

absolutely, it’s obvious chunks are missing, and for example it’s very very clear she’s been sending him pics, ie in Spanx leggings. He isn’t making repeated requests for pics and it’s something she’s always said no to. She has clearly been sending him pics and she’s tried to reduce her part in this as much as possible by only showing parts of the convo. To make it all about him.

however what is published is very clearly showing there was an intimate or consensual relationship.

but yes, the leak is manipulated to show the elements making him look bad, but has removed as much as possible from her, I assume as the dynamic would be very different if people saw the full story.

doesnt make him less guilty of cheating. But it does show this is a spiteful leak aimed at him.

as such, I genuinely believe she is behind it.

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.

Why can’t you use google or watch the news?

HornyHornersPinkyWinky · 02/03/2024 10:13

Do we know if he will be at the track today? Not usually interested in F1 but this might make it palatable.

I've literally subscribed to Sky Sports F1 today at a cost of an extra £24 per month, for this very reason! 😂

HornyHornersPinger · 02/03/2024 10:43

The Daily Mail should publish some of our comments, while innocently using our user names... That would be funny as hell 🤣

the80sweregreat · 02/03/2024 10:43

Maybe Red Bull will ' give him the finger ' in a few weeks when they hope it's ' blown over'

Gibs0nGirl · 02/03/2024 10:46

@MrsMConstable they will barely show him and won't refer to it at all, is my guess. Hope you've not wasted your money!

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 02/03/2024 10:47

Do you think his texts could be so bland and misspelt cos he was typing with the willy? Just a thought…

I hate posts like this. You have absolutely no idea how that bruise got there.

She wants that bruise to be noticed. She could have easily covered it with makeup.

I love the bit where she says she wears white cos it's like a uniform and she doesn't have to think about what she's going to put on in the morning. Bullshit. I mean, she's got nothing else to do except think about what to wear.

Janiie · 02/03/2024 10:49

OhhhhhhhhBiscuits · 02/03/2024 10:17

He has been there the past 2 days so no reason to suspect he won't be on the pit wall for the race. He was pictured hugging the FIA president in the pit lane yesterday.

Of course he's there. All RB will care about is if Verstappen wins not Horner's boring cheating. I bet they're all at it anyway. All that money and privilege, bit like premiership football players, seems to make people forget any conscience or decency.

Look it's not easy for him trying to type with his ten dickfingers. We need to show him some understanding.

Gibs0nGirl · 02/03/2024 10:55

@crockofshite she's got two kids, a husband who works away for most of the year, and a big farm and estate that will need some level of management.

I think she's probably got some stuff on.

Why should she cover up a bruise. Don’t you get bruises. There is nothing to be ashamed about on a bruise. You don’t show it off and want it to be seen or hide it. It’s just a bruise. I’ve one on my shins, and two on my arms right now as I was moving some stuff. The fact they are visible doesn’t mean I proactively wish them to be seen, it’s just a bruise.

how very odd.

Bruise discourse is the most unhinged part of this thread

PlumpHobbit · 02/03/2024 11:11

It would be really interesting to see the messages in the correct order -

In the fifty shades ones, it looks like both are flirting with one another and it's equal

He then starts asking her for photos and that seems to be the point she gets uncomfortable? However these messages are earlier in the folder.

There's then a couple which read like they are right at the end, as she's explicitly telling him to stop

If I was GH I'd be leaving him as to me it's cheating, id also be wondering how much more went on, as it comes up about the hotels and one of them says not LA(?) as Geri will be there. So what happened at the races she wasn't there?

Why does he suddenly want her to stay in different hotels to him? Surely as his PA, she's there to assist him so it wouldn't be practical for her to stay elsewhere, you'd expect her to be in the same hotel and wouldn't think anything of it.

The WFH exchange is weird - as she said he hates when people do that, yet he's almost pressing her to do so - is it because he doesn't want her in the office and potentially telling people? How is she supposed to type up minutes (are they confidential?) on her home computer if her laptop is in the office? Unless it's linked to their storage, but if it was why would that have come up? Also asking her to delete the messages, almost insistently

Also does this show the exchanges from both phones? It mentions she has a work phone, are these just the messages from her personal one? As there's messages about work on there too.

I think the damming thing in terms of work, is the fact he continues to ask her for photos, after she's said no once or twice. Maybe once after the 50 shades where she's flirting with him (not appropriate when you have a wife imo) because he could have thought it was mutual, however he then brings it up on multiple occasions after she's said no. He should have realised she was uncomfortable with it and he'd gone too far

Also does it imply he picks out what she wears? One of the messages seems to suggest she's letting him look through her suitcase? Also the photo of her from behind in the skirt is completely inappropriate, unless we can't see the full photo and she's doing something work related, e.g. meeting someone and shaking their hand, but otherwise it's completely inappropriate to have a photo of your employee's arse that you've clearly taken. I'm female and would be straight to HR if one of my male bosses did that (not that anyone would want to!)

I think they'll go down the loss of reputation route, he's in a very public role so it'll potentially get to the point they need to be seen to be doing something about it. They'll probably claim it's by mutual consent.

It'll be interesting to see if any sky journalists ask him anything about it, as he's often featured. I reckon there's a pretty heavy embargo in place however!

Surely a simple way of checking if the messages are genuine would be to see if the dates and times match - check his diary to see if the meetings/race weekends that are referred to match?

What's been published is a man, a boss, disregarding "no" for an answer. Any woman has the right to say "no" to a man. Even if there was a developing relationship between them, she made it clear in the texts we've all read, that she didn't want it to continue. Horner kept sexually harassing her. She was his PA, she tried her best to say "no" against a man with so much power, she'd never work in the industry again if she told him to "fuck off". She kept trying to find the awful balance between being sexually coerced and keeping her job. Nothing unusual for women working in a male dominated industry.

I wouldn't be surprised if more texts will be made public.

OK it's from 2023 but it's still a grab bruise.
Doesn't matter whether the bruise was from this year or last year.
Are you saying if it was from last year then it doesn't matter?!
You might have an autoimmune condition that causes bruising but Geri does not have an autoimmune condition. I know this.

You KNOW Geri's private medical information?
You can say with 100% certaintanty that she doesn't have an autoimmune condition?

Pull the other one.

A grab bruise is one possibility. But there are various things that could result in a bruise like that. Don't be sensationalist.

Maybe we should have a whip round for him, or raise awareness - to show solidarity for the sufferers of podgy dick fingers everywhere.

Doesn't King Charles also have sausage fingers? (wonders idly if Camilla has ever received a finger dick pic..)

Just to add to this. RED bull Racing is a corporate environment with hundreds of staff. I can't believe that in a modern corporation that he still has his job and it flies in the face of the corporate policies. I know of underlings in a few companies who have been told to leave for far less. Shows a complete double standard.

dayswithaY · 02/03/2024 11:22

I think it’s important to remember that when the employee first complained about Dick Finger it was about his “controlling behaviour “ no mention of anything sexual.

It was only after he was cleared that the sexual element was revealed, so whoever it was that leaked the messages had not revealed the whole story - maybe they hoped they wouldn’t have to.

After he was cleared and pictured smugly strutting around, was when the employee - or an unknown person - decided to pull out the big guns (or moist red pinkie/winkie if you prefer). 💄
