GERI Horner is facing another upsetting blow following her husband Christian’s sacking from F1’s Red Bull.
The team principal’s sudden dismissal comes a year on from his sexting scandal with an employee.

After The Sun told how it’s claimed to have prompted Geri to make a decisive move about their future, it’s now been reported the Spice Girls’ book company is in £1million debt.
The Mirror claims new accounts for her business, Falcon Queen Productions, had sunk a further £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 deficit the previous year.
Geri set up the firm in 2021 and launched her debut novel, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen two years later.
In April this year she released a second title, Rose Frost: Ice On Fire.
There are no such concerns withher main company, Won-derful Productions, which earned £2.16m in 12 months.
Geri also has a jaw-dropping £440million net worth between her and Christian.
When Christian’s sexting scandal was exposed in February last year, Geri put on a very public show of support for her husband – despite it reportedly leaving her “heartbroken” and “utterly humiliated”.
She was by his side for the beginning of the Formula One season in Bahrain, with the couple pictured hand in hand, cuddling and even seen sharing an intimate kiss before the race.
But behind the scenes it seems she had already subtly started to focus on herself and cultivating her own brand, separate from her racing boss husband.
We revealed last year that the singer had begun using her maiden name for penning her children’s books.
At the time Geri attempted to dismiss any meaning behind the name change, telling The Sunday Times: “That’s a load of c**p. It’s my writing name.
“I haven’t legally changed anything — Horner is the name on my passport.”
But the bombshell news of Christian’s Red Bull sacking yesterday has reportedly prompted Geri to speed up her plans to claw back her own identity.
It comes amid Geri’s hopes of a Spice Girls reunion for the girlband’s 30th anniversary next year.
A source revealed: “She’s totally focused on her writing career with kids books and is trying to get the series made into a film.
“Meetings in Hollywood have happened and she’s really pushing that. She’ll have her head down and be focused on trying to make more of a name for herself there.”
Christian was the longest reigning F1 boss after becoming head honcho of the Austrian team during its inception in 2005.
Allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him in February 2024 by a female team member were dismissed following a three-week internal probe.
He was accused of sending suggestive WhatsApp messages, in texts that were leaked a month later in March 2024. He denied the accusations throughout.
