News about Christian Horner

Gerri Halliwell has made a surprise appearance at the White House just months after her husband Christian Horner's sexting scandal. The former Spice Girl was seen waving of Joe and Jill Biden as they lifted off from the South Lawn on Wednesday. Halliwell, 51, was in Washington D.C. for a family literacy event with the Barbara Bush Foundation.

More than 2,000 people gathered today to celebrate the racing career of Sir Stirling, with the likes of Prince Edward , Jackie Stewart and Christian Horner spotted among the crowd. His own iconic cars, including his Mille Miglia-winning Mercedes-Benz, were parked around London as a mark of respect to the motorsport legend.

Ed Sheeran paid a visit to the Oracle Red Bull Racing garage in Miami on Friday afternoon. The 33-year-old performer appeared to be getting ready for the upcoming F1 Grand Prix of Miami, which is set to take place this coming Sunday. The hitmaker - who was recently spotted during a rare date night with his wife - was also picture while speaking with motorsport executive Christian Horner during his tour of the facility.

JONATHAN MCEVOY IN MIAMI: Max Verstappen has handed Red Bull a welcome boost by insisting that he could not be lured away to Mercedes even for £150million a year. The reigning world champion put himself beyond price as rumours swirl that he is disgruntled by recent shenanigans at the team, which only this week saw design guru Adrian Newey announce he will not see out his contract. This was on the top of the scandal that engulfed team principal Christian Horner over allegedly coercive behaviour towards a female colleague. He was cleared in an internal investigation, a verdict now subject to an ongoing appeal.

Max Verstappen isn't planning on leaving Red Bull amid Adrian Newey's shock exit from the team.  Not yet, at least. The reigning world champion addressed speculation he's reconsidering his future at the team ahead of the Miami Grand Prix Thursday. 'Not at the moment,' he told reporters, when asked whether recent events, including Christian Horner 's scandal, were affecting his decision-making.

The news is the latest development in a series of events that have unfolded since Horner (centre) was accused of 'coercive behaviour towards a female employee', before being investigated and subsequently cleared. Red Bull, meanwhile, insist Newey's departure is not directly linked to the allegations that have engulfed the team since February, but driven by growing resentment at how he has been less than fully credited for the team's success.

That deal has yet to be done, but it is understood that Newey, 65, is wanted by Ferrari to act as their 'super consultant'. He currently earns £15million a year at Red Bull and could double his salary with the potential switch. The development is a blow to the world championship team and embattled boss Christian Horner, the team principal who brought Newey from McLaren to Red Bull nearly 20 years ago. They have since won seven drivers' titles in two stints, through Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

Mercedes are reportedly preparing a staggering world record offer to Max Verstappen in a bid to lure the three-time world champion away from Red Bull.  Verstappen's is currently on a £40million-a-year deal with Red Bull, with the Dutchman tied to the team until 2028. There has been speculation over his future after Christian Horner was accused of sexual harassment and controlling behaviour by a female employee. The Red Bull team principal, who has always denied the allegations, was later cleared in an internal inquiry.

JONATHAN MCEVOY: Adrian Newey (left), the most self-deprecating genius in Formula One history, was on Thursday plunged right into the furore that has engulfed Red Bull and their team principal Christian Horner (right). The two men are inseparable at trackside. They walk in together and walk out together. They drink coffees together. They put their brains together. So it was a serious jolt to Horner when news broke that Newey, the greatest designer in the sport's history, would be leaving the team. Red Bull have not confirmed the revelations - but those who are jilted are always the last to know.

A Red Bull supremo is reportedly set to leave the team and will announce his decision soon. He has has informed Red Bull that he wants to move on.

The Red Bull employee, who was suspended after Horner (pictured) was cleared of 'coercive behaviour', is being quizzed as part of a fresh investigation which could last until mid-May. It has been launched after she appealed the verdict that cleared the Red Bull chief following an internal investigation by the company.

Christian Horner has knocked back criticism that Max Verstappen's stranglehold on Formula One is 'boring' by describing his star driver's unstoppable form as a 'golden moment'. Verstappen claimed his fourth win from the five rounds so far this season with a commanding drive at Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix to establish a 25-point championship lead. The Dutch driver has failed to triumph at only two of the last 23 races staged in the sport, and he is the overwhelming favourite to secure a fourth world crown in as many seasons.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has dismissed rumours that he and wife Geri plan to star in a family documentary. Reports on Friday suggested the couple had been approached to make a "really personal" fly-on-the-wall TV series following recent "speculation about their relationship". The Formula One team principal has faced intense scrutiny in recent weeks following allegations made against him by a female colleague. Horner has always denied the claims.

HENRY CLARK IN SHANGHAI: Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff believes Red Bull's ongoing dominance in the sport will not be the only factor that decides Max Verstappen's future - and hinted that there remains a chance the Dutchman could still consider joining Mercedes, despite their ongoing struggles. Verstappen claimed an emphatic victory at Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix to extend his lead in the championship to 25 points and remains under contract with Red Bull until 2028. There was speculation, though, over his future in the wake of allegations of misconduct against Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. 

Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell (left and right) has been spotted at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party in her first public appearance since her husband's Red Bull scandal. Halliwell, 51, was seen in a white dress arriving at the star-studded bash for fellow Spice Girl Victoria (inset) tonight. It's the first time she's made a public appearance since the revelation of her husband Christian Horner's scandal. The Red Bull Racing boss, 50, was caught up in a 'sexting' scandal with an employee and was accused of sexual misconduct. It follows reports that the pair are in talks to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary in a bid to show their relationship troubles are in the past.

Geri Horner and her husband Christian are reportedly in talks to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary in a bid to show their relationship troubles are in the past. It is claimed the couple has been approached by a television production company which supplies to Netflix, as they plan a Beckham style documentary. They both recently appeared in Formula One Netflix series Drive to Survive but the new show would take a look at their personal life at home.

HENRY CLARK IN SHANGHAI: Red Bull boss Christian Horner insists the team won't be rushed into finalising Max Verstappen's team-mate for 2025 as the silly season of the Formula One drivers market rumbles on. There has been strong speculation over the future of Sergio Perez, whose contract with the Austrian outfit expires at the end of the season, with Carlos Sainz one of many names being linked with the team. That move seems unlikely according to Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko, who told reporters yesterday that Audi, who will join the sport in 2026, have made a 'very lucrative offer' for the in-demand Spaniard. Sainz is being replaced at Ferrari by Lewis Hamilton at the end of the season.

Team principal Horner has been the major story of the F1 season after he was the subject of an internal investigation in February after accusations - which he denies - of 'coercive behaviour' towards a female colleague were made against him, before he was cleared. This hasn't impacted Red Bull's progress on the track though, with the team - who have won the previous two constructors' championships - dominating the early stages of the campaign. Max Verstappen is chasing a fourth consecutive world championship and the Dutchman looks on course for that after winning three out of the four races in 2024, with team-mate Sergio Perez coming second on all of those occasions.

POLE POSITION BY JONATHAN MCEVOY: Bernie Ecclestone believes peace will break out at Red Bull after the scandal that has engulfed the world championship-winning team. The 93-year-old - Formula One's most iconic figure and a best friend of previously embattled team principal Christian Horner - says that everything is mending after the scandal that hit in February. Ecclestone told this column: 'It's peace in our time. And Christian informs me everything's fantastic with Geri.'

After world champion Max Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez came first and second in Japan, the Red Bull team principal was sprayed with champagne. Horner, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, looked ecstatic as he posed for pictures with the trophies with what seemed to be a united Red Bull team on the surface. However, Horner, as Red Bull returned to winning ways after Ferrari's victory in Australia last weekend, is still struggling with the fallout from the sexting scandal. Following an internal probe in February, Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing after being accused of "coercive conduct" toward a female employee. However, text messages largely of a sexual nature were leaked to 149 senior F1 figures and members of the media just 24 hours after Horner was cleared, raising questions about his role once more.

During Friday's training session ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, Christian Horner was seen yawning, as rumors about his future in the aftermath of the'sex texts' scandal persist. Following an internal probe in February, the Red Bull team principal was found not guilty of any wrongdoing after being accused of 'coerce behaviour' against a female employee. However, text messages of largely of a sexual nature were leaked to senior F1 figures and journalists just 24 hours after he was cleared, raising concerns about his status once more.

HENRY CLARK IN SUZUKA: Max Verstappen, the Triple world champion, has hinted that after his current contract with Red Bull comes to an end at the end of the 2028 season, he could walk away from the sport. Despite being caught in the midst of a tense war between team principal Christian Horner and his father, Jos, ever since reports of Horner's inappropriate conduct toward a female colleague surfaced on the eve of the 2024 season, the Dutchman has won two victories from the first three races of the season.

In a recent interview, Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat said he is 'not surprised' by rumors over the roiling 'chaos' behind the scenes at the troubled constructors. The reigning world champions have had a good showing this season despite rumors that they were subjected to an internal probe into allegations of 'coercive conduct.' The British royal was later dismissed - but only for messages suspected of being sent between Horner and the accuser of the lawsuit, many of which were of a sexual nature, were revealed to leading figures in the paddock by anonymous email.

Sebastian Vettel has called for greater transparency in Formula One after the Christian Horner's'sex texts' scandal at his old team Red Bull has sparked increased transparency. The reigning world champions have been embroiled in controversy during the first weeks of the season, with team principal Horner accused of 'coerce conduct' against a female colleague. He was cleared by an internal Red Bull probe in February, but several messages reportedly between Horner and his accuser were leaked to top F1 executives and journalists by anonymous e-mail.
