Geri Horner, former Spice Girl and wife of Red Bull boss Christian Horner, is reportedly feeling terrified as her husband faces an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior. Geri, 51, has been leaning on her close friend and ex-bandmate Victoria Beckham for support during this challenging time. The two have remained close since their Spice Girls days and have always been there for each other through difficult times.

Emma Bunton has been a constant in Geri's life, attending her wedding and surprising Christian with a birthday dinner.

High Society Friends Offer Support

She has close connections with high-society figures like Baroness Carole Bamford, the founder of Daylesford Organic, and Bernie and Fabiana Ecclestone, who introduced Geri and Christian in 2009. Penny Lancaster, the wife of Rod Stewart, has been a long-time friend and attended both Geri and Christian's 50th birthday parties.

Geri Horner is fortunate to have such a strong and supportive inner circle during this challenging time. They have been there for her in the past, and they continue to stand by her side as she navigates the investigation surrounding her husband.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Formula 1 cars ensure the safety of drivers?

Formula 1 cars incorporate cutting-edge safety technologies to protect their drivers. These include a strong carbon-fiber monocoque, the Halo cockpit protection system, energy-absorbing crash structures, and advanced helmet technology. Each component is rigorously tested and adheres to stringent safety standards set by the FIA, ensuring that drivers are safeguarded against various types of impact.

How do Formula 1 teams move equipment between races and how can you help?

Formula 1 teams plan meticulously the logistics for transporting their cars, equipment, and parts globally. For European races, trucks and air cargo are preferred. Each team has their own dedicated logistics division that makes sure everything gets there on time, in good condition and manages a schedule that spans continents.

How do drivers qualify for a Formula 1 race?

The Formula 1 race’s qualifying is done through a knockout format the day of the race. It’s split into three segments – Q1, Q2, and Q3. All drivers start in Q1 and are eliminated after five of the slower cars. Five more cars are then eliminated from the Q2 group of 15 drivers. The top 10 cars then proceed to Q3, in which they compete to win pole position and determine starting order.

Can Formula 1 cars refuel during a race?

Formula 1 is currently prohibited from refuelling mid-race. This rule was implemented in 2010 to increase safety and lower costs. Cars must start a race with enough fuel for the entire distance. Teams must also balance the fuel weight against the speed and efficiency of the car.

Can Formula 1 teams run their cars all year round?

Formula 1 teams cannot test their cars all year round. The FIA regulates testing sessions in pre-season as well as during the season. These limitations are in place to control costs and maintain a level playing field. Teams must take advantage of limited testing opportunities in order to prepare for races and gather data.
