Christian Horner has demonstrated his skill at creating winning vehicles by building a formidable squad in two separate eras. However, with his most recent attempt, the “grill master” at his home may have entirely fallen on deaf ears right before the British Grand Prix. His latest adventure was highly mocked by Twitter F1 fans, who then added more irony to the discourse by bringing up Christian Horner’s wife and Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell in the mix. What actually happened that prompted Twitter users to take a thinly veiled jibe at Red Bull’s team principal?
The entire F1 driver lineup received an invitation to a barbecue party at one of the homes of the 49-year-old multimillionaire Christian Horner. Given that both of his homes are less than an hour’s drive from the renowned British track, Horner would have probably thought to serve the F1 drivers a welcoming meal. However, later on, the British man himself admitted that his party only saw half the grid.

Horner was able to take on the position of head chef with just half of the grid’s arrival. However, when the photos eventually went viral on social media, Horner and his family received some surprising responses that may startle some of us. On Twitter, F1 fans made fun of Horner’s “tasteless food” and didn’t even leave his wife out of the mocking conversation. So what happened? Let’s find out.
F1 fans on Twitter make fun of Christian Horner’s bland cuisine and throw sarcasm at his wife Geri Halliwell
Horner and his wife own two country properties, one in Oxfordshire and one in Hertfordshire. Regularly, we see his wife Halliwell sharing images of the opulent residence on social media. However, when Horner shared images of his incredible food on Instagram, some fans noticed and brought the Spice Girl into the discussion.
One of the reviewers made a remark about the cuisine appearing to be devoid of spices, and the user reacted with the exact same criticism. He wrote, ” Married a spice girl and still there is no seasoning on that barbecue.”

Later fans were seen trolling Horner’s wife. They did this with a slight pinch of sarcasm, as they meant that even after being a husband to a “spice girl” why the Barbeque looks so plain?
How am I supposed to believe he's married to a spice girl? 🧐

To put this more into account, the admirers mocked Horner about the food being devoid of spices even after having a wife who was known to bring much more “spices” with her performance. As she is one of the five members of the popular female group known as Spice Girls, which is still going strong as a very well-known brand around Europe.
How can you be married to a whole ass spice girl and still not have a LICK of seasoning on that bbq https://t.co/9C1P6x2AG2

With the efforts Horner took to invite the drivers, do you think the criticism was unnecessary?
