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

Sure, that’s what has been leaked, absolutely. But it is very clear large chunks are missing, and that she’s been sending him photos etc.so it’s been manipulated so the public can only see the parts she wished revealed

I doubt she wanted it leaked at all.

IMO it’s been leaked by someone who wants Horner out of Red Bull.

This bit likely has nothing to do with her. And the person that leaked it won’t actually give a shit about her either.

ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger · 02/03/2024 12:22

Does anyone else think that the pic he took of her arse and sent her is really odd- the black tights? The boring brown jacket? Nobody has worn sheer black tights since about 1993. Would a Red Bull PA have to wear some sort of air hostess type uniform?

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 02/03/2024 12:24

Some of these responses are mind boggling. Horner and his ex split up before he started dating Geri. Now yes they may have been together before, or it maybe she said end your relationship and then let’s talk if you think it’s over. No one knows

You don't know either! You don't know if the relationship with his ex had ended or if it overlapped or not.

She has enough money of her own. I get it but it gets trickier when children are involved. Having said that if she dumps him for this, it would give her a lot more credibility and help women in similar situations. Although most do not have the cash flow, which makes it all easier.

Yes true. She"s apparently worth around 40 million - that should be enough. She had around three number 1 hits as a solo artist after Spice GIrls and would definitely get a lot of credibility for leaving Christian Horner, if she could do it. More credibility than staying with him - smiling sweetly dressed in white.

fingerdickenergy · 02/03/2024 12:25

she's appearing later with him on the Grid. I never watch F1, all that testosterone gives me the heebies, but I might just tune in....

The problem is that she has so tightly woven her identity into his, and into their world - or at least, the world that we previously saw.

She was the Lady of the Manor with the perfect life, all dressed in white, travelling to the world to glamorous F1 destinations. And now all that perfection has been ruined - unless she "bravely" sticks with him, she has to create a whole new persona.

Why on earth should she cover a bruise?

Same reason people use makeup to cover anything, tattoos, blemishes etc. it's a very obvious and prominent bruise and I'm saying she didn't want to cover it up

everythinglooksbetterpaintedblack · 02/03/2024 12:31

The " what you wearing " comments will be because he's sick to death of seeing white clothes

He's not the first man to have an affair and if they choose to continue their marriage it's up to them. It happens and some people choose to break up and move on, others try and rebuild. The difference is that it's not always played out in public like this.

Apparently Geri will be there today. I think it's up to them now to decide between them what to do and they have a small child. It doesn't make her a lesser person if she chooses to stay with him. It's her life, not ours.

It definitely won't make her a lesser person but she will do untold damage to herself emotionally and mentally. She'll be paranoid and lose her self esteem, peace of mind and self worth. No man is ever worth that.

dandeliondandy · 02/03/2024 12:33

Geri is a tiny person so how tall is he?

Zone2NorthLondon · 02/03/2024 12:33

The individual with questionable behaviour under scrutiny is Christian Horner. Let’s not berate Geri by association or because she’s his wife. To best of our knowledge she has not sent dubious text or been under an external investigation

everythinglooksbetterpaintedblack · 02/03/2024 12:35

@Zone2NorthLondon but she is an expert on extra marital affairs

Janehasamane · 02/03/2024 12:35

Well the mail is reporting she’s going to go to the grid. So it’s stand by your man as rhe decision.

exacrly! I’m not making definitive statements, some posters are giving it she’s got with him when he was with his ex, what did she expect, it’s karma, and the point is, they didn’t publicly start dating till a few months after and these posters making these claims have no idea

Chilliandbanana · 02/03/2024 12:38

Read this post from beginning to end this morning. Haven’t done anything I should have been doing! Lots of laugh out load moments. I really hope Geri doesn’t stay with him. He is a boring sex pest. If I knew my DH had sent messages like that I couldn’t look at him again just gross, embarrassing and humiliating. She needs to practice girl power and get out whilst wearing a splash of colour.

oh and I am definitely #teamtodger 🤣🤣

I truly don't know how you could do that. Where the hell is her pride, her self esteem, her sense of self. I don't think of her as a lesser person but this is absolutely the wrong way to behave after an affair is exposed. I honestly despair. Stand by your man no matter how big the public humiliation. More fool her.

flyingbuttress43 · 02/03/2024 12:41

@Hopingitsahornyfinger You ask what I think of CH as a F1 fan. Never liked him much, seems arrogant. As a team principal he's one of the best and the longest serving one in the paddock; has done wonders with that team, so I try to keep my subjective views about the person separate from my objective ones about his ability. However much he has clearly been an irresponsible prat I feel sorry for the whole situation, but mainly his kids. Re Geri, I guess the old saying that when you marry your mistress you create a vacancy, applies. I have no opinion on the woman involved in this case because we do not know where this is coming from - she's too old to be naive, are the texts real? Was this a set up? What was the power play between Horner and her, what is the power play between the 51% Thai owners who favour Horner and the 49% Austrian parent company and Helmut Marko - possibly also Jos Verstappen (Max's father). How much was, or was not, consensual on the woman's part......We just don't know. The only definite thing we can say is that the whole situation was stupid and either immoral or amoral.

On the broader issue of the sport there are now more women and ethic minorities involved than a decade ago. In most garages you now see female engineers and mechanics and on the pitwall you see female strategists. The most successful strategist is Hannah Schultz, head of strategy on Redbull's pitwall. A strategic genius who had made a massive contribution to Max Versappen's success, so I think the comments made by one or two posters that women are just collateral damage is not true in general. Even back in the 1950s when I started watching, F1 drivers' wives and girlfriends were common on the pitwall as timers, support staff etc. More moves are being made to make F1 more welcoming with, for example, the F1 academy for budding female racers. Their races this year are support races on the main calendar. There will be more women in the sport as more girls are now starting karting at young ages - the best way of entry.

The whole situation is a blemish on the sport I love, but given the money, the thousands of staff and power plays involved, I am surprised this sort of scandal is not more common.Most scandals over the years have involved various forms of technological or racing cheating .

Sorry, that was long...

You are making definitive statements. You said they got together after he split with his ex. You don't know when they got together, you know no more than other posters unless you know them personally. Just because they went public means hee haw.

The problem is that her sense of self is entirely wrapped up in him and their life, and the lifestyle she likes to project on Instagram.

Interesting that the Daily Fail is not allowing comments on any of the CH or GH articles!

Inkanta · 02/03/2024 12:45

She left Spice when they were at their peak. She could leave him whilst he's at his peak. Peak prick. Beneath the whiter than white find that badass Geri.

I wonder who leaked it, they were clearly peeved!

Hopefully this will never come out, or at least not proven for sure. As ever, it looked as though this was going to be rugswept and the powerful wealthy man would, yet again, get away with unwanted and inappropriate sexual or coercive behaviour.

Someone has made certain that won't happen. And now F1 for their cover-up, as well as Horner, might well be held accountable in the public eye if nowhere else.

I applaud them, whoever it is.

This is what I said, and this is factually correct.

”Horner and his ex split up before he started dating Geri. Now yes they may have been together before, or it maybe she said end your relationship and then let’s talk if you think it’s over”

he solit with his ex a few months before he started dating Geri. As said, this doesn’t mean they were not together before. I do not know. None of us do. But absolutely publicly he was absolutely split from his ex, well before publicly he started dating Geri. No way round it.

And much good leaving the Spice Girls did her - she was going to have a fabulous career as an individual pop star! She didn't need them!

And that went well...

Allegedly he made massive legal threats when the messages were first leaked which is why no newspaper media have actually published the files. Who knows if that's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me and that makes sense for not allowing comments.
