LOVED-UP Red Bull chief Christian Horner hugged wife Geri as the duo celebrated Max Verstappen’s controversial world title triumph.
The couple have been together since 2014, marrying a year later and having their first child, Montague, in January 2017.
And former Spice Girl Geri was by Horner’s side for the crowning moment of his career with Red Bull.
The duo thought that hope was lost, when Lewis Hamilton led their man Verstappen with just six laps remaining in Abu Dhabi.
But after Nicholas Latifi’s crash and an extremely contentious call by the FIA, Verstappen was able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Geri, 49, shared a hug with hubby Christian as the pair took a selfie together to celebrate the win.
And she also grabbed a picture with man of the moment Verstappen.
Fans were left baffled, however, when she was then interviewed about the Dutchman’s triumph by Sky Sports.

She said: “I am just really proud of him, I’m proud of the whole team, [and] Max.
“I mean, it is testimony to what a great team they are. Great strategy, Max is brilliant, Sergio Perez was amazing.
“And of course I think they have got the best Team Principal.”
Verstappen, meanwhile, celebrated with stunning girlfriend Kelly Piquet.
The couple shared selfies together as they partied into the night.
Verstappen was also congratulated by Hamilton’s dad Anthony, in a classy gesture by the Brit.
