In spite of the rejection of accusations against Christian Horner by an impartial lawyer, examination continues. Geri Horner made a noteworthy entrance into the Bahrain paddock, hand in hand with her spouse, Christian Horner, just before the season-opening Grand Prix, confirming their unity amidst recent controversies. Speculations circulated around Geri’s presence, particularly after Christian was cleared of allegations regarding his behavior following a complaint from a female coworker. Displaying resilience, Geri showed up at the main paddock entrance, elegantly dressed in a cream gown and high heels, as a crowd of photographers and journalists followed the couple to the Red Bull motorhome. They briefly paused on the porch, interacting with prominent individuals like Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken and Flavio Briatore before retreating indoors.
Thai co-owner of Red Bull, Chalerm Yoovidhya, allegedly a staunch supporter of Horner, warmly greeted the couple, embracing Christian and sharing a meal with Geri. Despite expectations of her presence on the grid, Geri chose the comfort of the motorhome. Among the visitors was footballer Neymar, a guest of Red Bull, who posed for pictures with drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Geri, who had flown to Bahrain on Thursday, remained unseen until her arrival at the paddock. While en route, a flurry of WhatsApp exchanges between Horner and the accuser emerged, sent anonymously to key figures in F1. Christian Horner’s #RedBull still facing the sack as #FIA intervenes.
Despite the rejection of allegations against Horner by an impartial lawyer, examination persists, with demands for transparency from rival team principals and speculation on Red Bull’s partnerships’ stance. Amidst this backdrop, Saturday’s race begins at 6 pm local time (3 pm UK time), with Verstappen leading from pole position. All attention will be on the pre-race grid, awaiting a potential appearance by Geri Horner, amidst a storm of controversy and speculation.
