Breaking: Christian Horner, Evidence Stuns Wife Geri Halliwell As She Threatens divorce
Red Bull Racing boss, Christian 50, vehemently denies claims threatening his future running the all-conquering team of F1 world champion Max Verstappen.
Geri, 51, showed she was standing by him at the weekend as the pair watched their racehorse, Lift Me Up, come second in a point-to-point event at Badbury Rings, Dorset.
The embattled Red Bull team principal appeared relaxed and sported natty striped wellies as he strolled among racegoers with his pop star missus.
Geri – who was reduced to tears as news broke of the scandal – is being supported by her Spice Girl bandmates following the launch of a probe by Red Bull’s Austrian HQ.
A source close to the couple said: “They enjoyed a lovely spring day at the races and were very much together.
“Christian is fighting these claims all the way and is getting a lot of support.”
Horner was initially only under investigation over alleged controlling behaviour at work.
But in recent days, fresh claims allege Horner also sent her “sexually suggestive” texts.
The Sun exclusively revealed Horner – who married Geri in 2015 – was being supported by all the Spice Girls.
The ex-Spice Girl, who was “in floods of tears” when the Red Bull boss was hit with the bombshell allegations, fears the drama will drag on for years, a source has claimed.
Geri has told pals: “Christian has done nothing wrong.”
It comes after F1 yesterday released a statement on the allegations.
F1 said in a statement today: “We hope that the matter will be clarified at the earliest opportunity after a fair and thorough process.
“We have noted Red Bull has instigated an independent investigation into internal allegations at Red Bull Racing.
“We will not comment further at this time.”
A final decision on the probe into the accusations could come out as early as next week, reports claim.
Ford were said to have put pressure on their future partners at Red Bull Racing to investigate the outcome “seriously but quickly”.
Reports say this could mean Horner could find out his fate much sooner than originally expected.
Horner has said to be hoping the investigation is resolved within the next week — when the team will fly to Bahrain for pre-season testing.
He would be expected to fly out as team manager.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, claimed to have seen messages at the heart of the probe and have alleged they were “sexually orientated”.
The paper reported that Horner allegedly sent sex messages to the woman employee “over an extended period of time”.
Messages were said to have been saved and presented as evidence to the external barrister running the inquiry after the woman made a complaint last December.
Horner publicly addressed the allegations against him for the first time at the launch of the RB20 this week.
He said: “Inevitably there has been a distraction, but the team are very together.
“Everybody’s focused on the season ahead, so it’s been very much business as normal and the support has been fantastic.
“In situations like these, you see where the strengths are, and it’s been overwhelming the support that I’ve had from within the team.
“There have been some allegations made, which I fully deny, so that the investigation is very much going on in the background whilst preparing for the season ahead, and hopefully it will be concluded in the near future.”
