Christian Horner responds after texts allegedly sent to female colleague leaked
Christian Horner has responded with a firm statement after WhatsApp messages – some of a sexually suggestive nature – allegedly from the Red Bull F1 boss were leaked.
The team principal, married to Spice Girl member Geri Halliwell who arrived in the paddock hand-in-hand with her husband ahead of the race on Saturday, was cleared of “inappropriate behaviour” on Wednesday after a three-week internal probe conducted by an external lawyer, following allegations from a female colleague which were strongly refuted by Horner.
However, just 24 hours later, WhatsApp texts and pictures were leaked from an anonymous source – to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, chief executive Stefano Domenicali, the sport’s has seen the leaked material, a Google Drive with 79 separate documents, but is unable to verify the authenticity of the content.
