Christian Horner’s united front with his Spice Girl wife Geri Halliwell at the races – as it emerges Red Bull chief’s ‘sexting’ scandal will be covered in Netflix’s Drive to Survive

Christian Horner and Geri Halliwell have put on a united front after being pictured together at a horse racing event on Easter Saturday.

The couple were all smiles as they attended the Kimblewick Races in Buckinghamshire yesterday to watch their horse Lift Me Up compete in the point-to-point competition.

Geri, 51, looked delighted alongside her husband as the horse, named after her 1991 solo chart topper, finished in first place.

The mother-of-two was pictured holding the winner’s trophy with Christian, and posed for photos with the horse and its jockey, Jack Edwards.

It comes as the fallout from the Red Bull sexting scandal continues, with Netflix confirming it will cover the furor in its new season of hit docuseries Drive to Survive.

The sport of Formula 1 has been rocked in recent weeks by allegations of inappropriate behavior against 50-year-old Horner, made by a female colleague from his team.

The Red Bull team boss has now been cleared of wrongdoing by an independent panel and has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

However, his future remains under scrutiny after text messages between HOrner and what appears to be a female colleague were leaked in 79 screenshots when an anonymous sender sent an email that was also copied to FIA chief Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 boss Stefano Domenicali.

The prosecutor has been suspended as the saga continues, sparking anger among campaign groups who claim that ‘women simply do not have confidence that their complaints will be properly investigated’.

Throughout the furore, Geri has been steadfast in her support of her husband, making a prominent show of support by attending the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

Last week, James Gay-Rees, the boss of Drive to Survive – the show that documents the dramas of the F1 season – addressed the scandal and revealed how his team plans to tackle it.

“It will have to be referred to in some capacity, yes,” he told The Telegraph. “And they all want it to be told a certain way, so it’s about walking that line to keep everyone happy, and to keep Netflix happy, and us – so we can sleep at night with the decisions we make have taken.

‘You have to have balance. I think Horner looks good for now, but it doesn’t feel like it’s done yet. It will all depend on how it turns out.

“I don’t know what he’s been up to, and I honestly don’t have an opinion about it, but he’s been through it and you wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”

Gay-Rees also said he had spoken to Horner since the allegations came to light and revealed what the race boss told him.

“Yes, that’s what Christian said to me: ‘This is all your fault,’” he added.

On track, it was a good start to the season for Red Bull, with driver Max Verstappen winning the first two races before being forced to withdraw from the Australian Grand Prix.

However, the scandal could still continue, with campaign groups backing the now-suspended employee.

Alesha De Freitas, head of policy at The Fawcett Society, which campaigns for women’s rights at work, at home and in public life, said: ‘This is unfortunately not uncommon.

‘Women simply do not have confidence that their complaints will be properly investigated, and you may wonder whether that is the case here.

‘What happened to this woman reinforces the message that as an individual you are taking a huge risk by speaking out and you really want to do that, which is wrong.

“The most concerning aspect is that an unidentified QC conducted this investigation on behalf of the company and the findings have not been fully disclosed.

‘I am not saying that the entire report should be made public, but the grounds for rejecting her claim

“How can you be confident that due process has been followed if this is the outcome and you are suspended for raising your concerns?

‘What is the procedure for that? It seems unbelievable.’

MailOnline has previously revealed how the woman at the center of the texting scandal has told friends she ‘feels let down’ by the Austria-based FI team, which also has a base in Milton Keynes where she worked.

Officials suspended her for “dishonesty” just after announcing Horner had been acquitted, but she has now appealed, although no timeline has been set for her case.

Red Bull took action against her after the suggestive WhatsApp messages were sent from an anonymous email address to 149 people, including F1 officials and motorsport correspondents.

The woman insists she was not the source and is ‘disappointed’ with the way she has been treated by a company she has worked for for the past five years.

A friend said: ‘Questions need to be asked about the Red Bull investigation, transparency would give confidence in what is happening to her.

‘She just can’t get over the fact that she filed a complaint and was suspended. All she wants is transparency in the process.”

The woman’s plea echoes that of Honda, Red Bull Racing’s current engine partner, which also called for “clarity” about the investigation that ultimately cleared Horner.
