Christian Horner accused of putting ‘PR spin’ on F1 scandal with Mother’s Day tribute
F1 boss Christian Horner is facing fresh backlash after he posted a Mother’s Day tribute to his wife, former Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell.
The CEO and team principal of Red Bull Racing was accused and then cleared of “inappropriate behaviour” towards a female colleague, who has since been suspended following an internal investigation.
Horner has demanded an end to “family intrusion” following the claims involving alleged WhatsApp messages of a sexually suggestive nature.
In the post, he wished a happy Mother’s Day and received hundreds of comments. We are incredibly grateful to our mothers for everything that they do. We are ever-grateful, both now and always.
The couple have been seen together on multiple occasions since the allegations were made public.
Hours after his colleague’s suspension, the F1 chief pleaded with the press to “draw a line” under the affair.
It’s been a really difficult time, he admitted. “I’m grateful to have a lovely family and a supportive wife, but when that intrusion involves your children and your marriage, I’m married and have three kids.”
