Red Bull Boss Horner Sacked As Wife Faces £1 Million Debt

Christian Horner was dismissed from his role as Red Bull Racing team principal after a 20-year tenure marked by 14 championships, amid allegations of workplace misconduct and the team's recent underperformance. His wife, Geri Horner, formerly of the Spice Girls, is concurrently facing financial difficulties as her book company, Falcon Queen Productions, reported debts exceeding £1 million, a significant increase from previous years. Despite these setbacks, Geri's primary company, Wonderful Productions, which manages her music royalties and brand deals, continued to generate substantial revenue. The couple is navigating these personal and professional challenges following the recent death of Horner's first wife and amidst a public scandal involving leaked messages that led to an external investigation clearing Horner of wrongdoing. Red Bull appointed Laurent Mekies as the new CEO of Red Bull Racing following Horner's departure. Throughout the turmoil, Geri Horner has publicly supported her husband, who expressed pride in his achievements and optimism for the future of the team.
