“My Wife Is Contributing More”: Horner Confesses to His Radio Crimes but Claims Geri Halliwell Does It Better

It seems like Max Verstappen’s personality has started to rub off on Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. In the past, we have heard the reigning world champion swear on the radio at the slightest inconvenience, and it seems Horner has unfortunately picked up that trait.

Christian Horner has been the Dutchman’s Team Principal ever since he joined Red Bull. Therefore, this doesn’t come along as a surprise. The only good news for the Briton is that his wife has one-upped him in that aspect, allowing him to win this strange competition.

Christian Horner discloses wife Geri Halliwell’s ‘swearing’ problem

Christian Horner tied the knot with Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell in 2015. They have been one of the power couples in the paddocks ever since. But as things stand, both of them share a ‘swearing’ problem. To counter that, the couple has kept a jar at home.

Red Bull’s team boss confirmed that his wife has been the major contributor. Teasing his wife, he once told The Standard, “My wife is contributing more to the jar than I am!”

However, he also admitted to facing the same issue. He said, “The problem for me is sometimes I’m not aware the cameras are there, but it’s made me realize I do swear quite a lot.”

In the same interview, Christian Horner also talked about his wonder boy Max Verstappen’s form this season and his relationship with Mercedes Team Boss, Toto Wolff

Are Horner and Toto Wolff friends?

Christian Horner and Toto Wolff have been rivals for the longest time. Last year, it got intense after Max Verstappen snatched the world title from right under Lewis Hamilton’s nose. Despite all of that, the duo has remained professional in their approach, although it would be a stretch to call them friends.

Red Bull’s Team Principal talking about his relationship with Toto Wolff said, “We’re just two very different people. Our priorities are different. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a respect, but we’re different personalities.”

“I think we probably share that competitive spirit in the same way as Max and Lewis.”

It’ll be safe to say that Red Bull and Max Verstappen have had Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton’s number this season. But, it’ll be foolish to write off a comeback from the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, next season.
