Christian Horner Marque 2

[Geebray]

See what I did there 😉

So, Geri's in Bahrain holding hands with him. And all we can think is "WE KNOW WHAT'S BEEN ON THAT FINGER!!!"

I always thought she'd do the "Fighting bravely through the tears" schtick.

She's already had it!

Love your line ".... we women don't like that, you know." @Geebray

Real Girl Power - for the sisterhood !

I totally agree.

I used to quite enjoy F1 but the past few years of Red Bull with greasy Horner, that vile PoS Jos Verstappen's involvement, and his son who I can't stand and whose girlfriend's father is also a PoS with past/present heavy involvement in F1, the whole thing is toxic.

Red Bull as a team needs booting out.

Their relationship started with him cheating with her when his ex was pregnant with his child, what did she expect?

The pair of them are awful people and well matched. Poor children though.

The whole thing is an awful mess🤦🏻‍♀️

She is not a young woman, she’s a woman in her forties.

Are you sure she is in her forties? I saw photos and she looks younger than that, unless they are old photos from her younger days, either that or she looks much younger than she is. She is very attractive.

She looks like she's desperate to hang onto him

I really don't think you can call this victim blaming. I think people rightly feel disappointed they bought the emblem of Girlpower is walking side by side with a man who has treated a female employee so appallingly. Christian Horner is one hundred percent to blame and I think most people hoped Geri would stand against this behaviour and not give it her stamp of approval.

Geri is 51.

She left uni in 2002 so she would be about 43 ish if she went at 18.

I was referring the the post saying the PA is in her forties and not a young woman.

Not really, its a story as old as the hills...

Rich and powerful man plays away

Wife who rides on his tailgate clings onto him for dear life

Other woman gets a pay out

...and they all lived happily ever after, with their pr team feeding the media pictures of domestic bliss...

OH! Sorry, I misunderstood. 😊

What goes around .. he left his wife for Geri .. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The assistant is in her 40s

Are they in all the seasons? I might start watching if it's this much of a soap opera all the time...

I worked in a place where the boss was seeing a subordinate, both married with kids etc. She was particularly “happily married” and flaunted it on FB to show the world how wonderful her life was. Then she started doing really weird shit at work. The boss had lost all his power to deal with her. She had messages etc. too I’d imagine, and he was terrified she’d turn on him.

The point of the story is, the boss in this case, was completely disempowered by the mistress, he had lost complete control of her and the situation, and she loved the “new power” she had… He couldn’t get rid of her , she was running rough shod over him and other senior leaders. Leaders were afraid to “ out him”, he was their boss. It was literally a shit explosion. These relationships impact the wider work-place and cause a LOT of problems.

This maybe what happened at RB. The woman may have started flexing her muscles in areas where her input is not appreciated. Speaking from experience, things get very, very, messy.

Having read the alleged messages, I would think more likely that he wouldn't leave her alone and it got to the point where she raised a grievance because of it - as left with no other option - rather than her wanting to take advantage of her perceived power over CH.

Of course, we don't know if the messages are truly genuine and if they are, I'm sure we are only seeing part of the story.

We don’t know if the alarm was raised internally in RB by her…it may not have been…

All the talk of internal power struggle suggests someone else may have brought it to the attention of HR…?!

Entertaining though I have found all this, if Jos Verstappen is somehow involved, he is by all accounts a hundred times less likeable than (even) CH and CH in fairness built RB up from scratch. Perhaps CH had good reason to fear the PA giving JS confidential information.

He's a despicable, abusing wanker of a man. He abused his past partners, he was an abusive dad to Max when he was a young child and yet he swans around like he's cock of the walk when he was a poor F1 driver in his time. Absolute despise him.

I agree with all this 100% and you have worded it so well that I've copied the bulk of your comment and posted it in the comments of absolutely every F1 related Facebook page I follow, including RBR, Official F1, Mercedes etc! The more I did, the more new 'suggested' pages' came up so it's on them too! I'm so angry he's still got a job. 🤬
I honestly have no sympathy for Geri, she chose to parade herself next to her grimy husband yesterday. Could've laid low but didn't. So I will again comment on it - what's with her weird one-eye squint? Every time I see it she reminds me of Madame Gazelle whenever somebody mentions glitter!!

Oooooh, serious escalation this afternoon!!

Jos Verstappen (Max Verstappen, Red Bull driver and current World Champion's Dad - holds huge influence in the RBR garage, with owners, sponsors and with the company as a whole) has just given an interview to Talksport (a very reputable source, obviously), including this statement...

"There is tension here while he remains in position. The team is in danger of being torn apart. It can't go on the way it is. It will explode. He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing problems'.

OUCH!

His own are turning on him.

This does NOT look good for the Horners!

The irony of Jos Verstappen wading in this, given his history
