Geri Horner: “Strict rules of the game” for Red Bull team boss

Geri and Christian Horner
After WhatsApp leak: Ex-Spice Girl is said to have set up “strict rules” for the Red Bull team boss

At the weekend, Geri Horner and her husband Christian were seen together a lot – outwardly the couple demonstrated strength and solidarity. But the ex-Spice Girl is said to have not only “taught her husband” in advance, it is said.

In front of the cameras: everything is fine. Anyone who tuned in to the Bahrain Grand Prix at the start of this year’s Formula 1 season at the weekend not only got to see Max Verstappen’s opening victory, but also a few new impressions of the racing series’ most prominent sideshow. Red Bull team bosses have been there more than once Christian Horner and his wife Geri Horner, née Halliwell, can be seen together. Kissing, smiling, holding hands. The couple obviously wanted to show that all was well in the Horner household. Now it is said: The powerful Formula 1 boss apparently had to make concessions to his wife for the beautiful pictures.

Geri Horner is still putting on a good face in the face of evil

There has been no shortage of rumors about what is happening behind the scenes for days. Following allegations against Christian Horner that he behaved inappropriately towards a female employee, all eyes are on him and his famous wife, Geri Halliwell. The ex-Spice Girl apparently has to endure a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment. First the allegations came up, then her husband was acquitted through an internal investigation and recently a spicy but anonymous email followed to around 150 people, including many colleagues from Formula 1. The email is said to contain excerpts from the private correspondence between Horner and of the employee in question, thus publicly questioning the results of the investigation.

The “Mirror” writes after viewing the messages: “In terms of appearance or content, there is nothing to suggest that the files were manipulated with an image editing program such as Photoshop or created using a text-to-image generator. […] There are no obvious indications of fakes in the WhatsApp screenshots either. […] This cannot be definitively verified.”

Christian Horner officially stated: “I will not comment on anonymous speculation, but to repeat: I have always denied the allegations.”

The British tabloid “The Sun” now reports that his wife is drawing her own conclusions from the current situation surrounding her husband. Accordingly, she is said to have demanded that Christian Horner largely, if possible completely, stop contact with the employee. Since Horner is, strictly speaking, her superior , he can only comply with his wife’s demands to a limited extent.

It is said that Geri Horner has therefore given her husband “strict rules” for his future behavior. This also includes what type of messages he sends. In another report from the “Sun“It is also said that the ex-Spice Girl “told the team boss” before the race in Bahrain.

Formula 1 comes into focus off the track

The Horner-Halliwell crisis is likely to continue: Even if the two seem to have reached an agreement between themselves, Red Bull is said to be examining the images. What will happen if their authenticity is confirmed remains unclear. Theoretically, there would be enough paragraphs in the Formula 1 regulations to punish Horner. Red Bull will also have to find a way to deal with the situation. Similar cases in other industries, such as film and media, have recently caused major scandals – and changes.
