    Christian Horner went from failed driver to youngest F1 boss…but whirlwind wedding to wife Geri Horner caused family row

    RED Bull boss Christian Horner is well used to steering himself through personal crises.The F1 boss, 50, who is facing accusations of “controlling behaviour” from a female colleague, fell out with his parents after he left the mother of his first child and got engaged to Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, 51.

    His mum and dad didn’t attend the couple’s star studded wedding in 2015, reportedly because they were upset about him leaving his partner of 14 years, Beverley Allen.
    Eventually, though, Christian managed to patch things up with both Beverley and his parents.
    The controversial Red Bull boss has also rowed with rival F1 bosses – and there is reportedly an ongoing feud with Mercedes’ racing chief Toto Wolff.
    It stems from accusations that Red Bull broke budget rules and benefitted from rule bending when their driver Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to the F1 championship in 2021.

    Christian also had to overcome the failure of his own career as a racing driver, quitting at 25.
    He did so by borrowing money and putting his energy into establishing his own team.
    The hard-working team boss is said to have never missed a day at the track, even for the birth of his first child.
    Now there are rumours of a power struggle within Red Bull, a battle that could be Christian’s toughest yet.

    The Austrian company has hired an independent barrister to investigate claims of “inappropriate behaviour” by the F1 chief.
    Multi-millionaire Christian has denied the allegations and is expected to stay on as boss while the probe is carried out.
    Geri Horner threw celeb-packed 50th birthday bash – but one Spice Girl did not attend
    He’s sure to do everything to hold onto his role, having once said: “I never struggle for motivation. Motivation is something that burns within. 
    “I think winning becomes addictive. It’s the fear of failure that drives all of us at Red Bull.
    “Formula One is such a competitive business that you can’t afford to miss a beat.” 
    Driven dreams
    Christian, from Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, was born into a world of cars, with his wealthy father Garry owning a business that supplied parts to motor manufacturers.
    One of three brothers, he was privately educated and got the racing bug after persuading his parents to buy him a go-kart at the age of 11.
    He said:  “I left school at 18, I didn’t go to university, my focus was very much on racing and forging a career as a driver.”

    Aged 19 he started competing for Manor Racing in the British Formula Renault Championship.
    He worked his way up the field to Formula F3000, considered to be the final step to reaching Formula 1.
    But when Juan Pablo Montoya, who progressed to F1, came past him on a very fast corner, Christian realised he didn’t have the right psychological mentality for the daredevil sport.
    He admitted: “The commitment he had, was one I knew my brain and foot just wouldn’t be able to do. I recognised that I wasn’t prepared to take that risk.”
    Team boss
    Aged 25 he quit racing and focused on running the Arden team he’d already set up using borrowed money. 
    For a brief time Arden were part-funded from Russian oil company Lukoil, whose oligarch founder is currently on the UK sanctions list.
    His success at Arden convinced Red Bull to make him the youngest ever F1 team chief in January 2005, with Christian aged just 31.
    I recognised that I wasn’t prepared to take that riskChristian Horner
    He proved to be a dynamic and committed boss.
    Christian promised to jump into a swimming pool in just a Superman cape when the team achieved its first F1 podium, and did exactly that after the car finished in the top three at Monaco in 2006.
    Four years later Red Bull won both its first F1 Constructors Championship and driver’s championship, with a young Sebastian Vettel taking the title.
    Family fall out

    In his home life things appeared to be settled, with Christian living in a Northamptonshire mansion with his former pub landlady partner Beverley Allen, who is six years his senior.
    He was stepdad to Beverley’s two children, Kieron, 35, and Liam, 31, and the couple were keen to have a child of their own.
    That dream came true when Beverley gave birth to Olivia in October 2013, although Christian couldn’t be there to see his daughter arrive because he was with Red Bull in Japan.
    He said at the time: “I think being a father will be more of a challenge than running a team of over 500 people, but I am looking forward to it.”
    But six months later Christian split from Beverley after 14 years together.
    I think being a father will be more of a challenge than running a team of over 500 people, but I am looking forward to itChristian Horner
    Shortly afterwards in March 2014, he was dating Geri, and by November the couple announced in The Times newspaper that they were engaged.
    Geri had long been an F1 fan and they met through a shared love for motorsport.
    The whirlwind engagement surprised many, because neither Geri, who has a daughter Bluebell, now 17, from a former relationship, nor Christian had previously walked down the aisle.
    It was not welcomed by Christian’s parents Garry and Sara, who refused to attend the wedding at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire in May 2015.
    Prior to the nuptials a family member said: “You can say that his parents are absolutely devastated. We won’t be going to the wedding.
    “There is a lot more to this story than people know about – to do with his ex-partner.”
    Healing process
    But Christian managed to heal the family rift by getting back on friendly terms with Beverley.
    In an interview last year he revealed: “I have a great relationship with Beverley, and Beverley gets on with Geri, and Geri is great with Olivia and Olivia has a lovely relationship with Monty.
    “It’s totally harmonious.”
    You can say that his parents are absolutely devastated. We won’t be going to the weddingFamily member
    Monty is Geri and Christian’s seven year-old son. The couple live in a mansion in Oxfordshire with a stable for 14 horses, and Geri is a devoted wife.
    She said in 2015: “I do cook for him, I do like to see that he’s happy. When I go to the Formula 1 races, I’m not about all the glamour.
    “I never thought I’d meet the man who I knew I would be with always. I can be myself with him, I can breathe out. I don’t ever want to get divorced.”
    Trouble ahead

    That relaxed family life is in contrast to the stressful world of Formula 1.
    Christian, said to be worth £41million, is known to swear and has admitted to not being on friendly terms with rival Wolff.
    He said: “I’ve never been a believer that you can be the best mate with your competitor. I think it’s dishonest.”
    When Verstappen beat Hamilton to the 2021 F1 championship, he blurted out “Mercedes f****d up.”
    Everything seemed rosy for Christian, who was awarded a CBE in December and was sung to by pals Gary Barlow, Sir Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood at his 50th birthday.
    His Red Bull Team dominated last year’s F1 championship and are favourites to do the same this year.
    I’ve never been a believer that you can be the best mate with your competitor. I think it’s dishonestChristian Horner
    But the death of his mentor and Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in October 2022 is rumoured to have created a power struggle.
    After the billionaire’s death, Red Bull drafted in a new board of directors to oversee the business, and former RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff was appointed chief executive.
    Despite Red Bull enjoying its most successful season in F1 history in 2023, there was speculation of a rift between Horner and Helmut Marko – Red Bull GmBH’s motorsport advisor.
    Rumours went as far as to suggest Horner was determined to get rid of Marko, 80, from the team, reports the Telegraph.
    The former professional driver has overseen the Red Bull driver development programme since 2005 and was a driving force in bringing Verstappen to the team.
    But speculation was played down, with Horner only acknowledging there had been a “small difference of opinion” between himself and Marko.
    Red Bull is now investigating the allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” against Christian, with the internal inquiry reportedly leaving Geri in “floods of tears”.
    She was standing by her husband last night, telling pals she does not believe gossip that has been swirling for days.

    Red Bull issued a statement saying: “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation.
    “The company takes these matters extremely seriously and the investigation will be completed as soon as practically possible. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

    Ex-Barcelona star Dani Alves ‘groped TWO other women on night of rape’ court hears…with model wife poised to testify

    FORMER Barcelona star Dani Alves has been accused of groping two other women on the night he allegedly raped someone else in a nightclub toilet.His estranged model wife Joana Sanz is set to testify in her husband’s rape trial today and tell the court that Alves rang her “drunk” from the club where he allegedly forced himself on a 23-year-old woman.

    The Brazilian defender, 40, has been accused of raping a woman in an upmarket Barcelona nightclub on December 30, 2022.
    During the first day of the footballer’s trial yesterday, a friend and cousin of his accuser claimed he also groped them in the VIP area, local media reports.
    The two women claim he then invited their friend, the alleged rape victim, to follow him through a separate door after flirting with her.
    Alves has admitted to having sex with the alleged victim in the toilet of the club since the allegations surfaced, but insists it was consensual.
    READ MORE ON DANI ALVES
    Spanish prosecutors have said they want the defender – who has been in pre-trial detention for over a year – jailed for nine years if he is convicted.
    And the lawyer representing the dad-of-two’s accuser has called for him to face the maximum 12-year prison sentence if he is found guilty.
    Both prosecutors are also seeking a compensation payment of £128,000.
    Under Spanish law excess alcohol consumption can serve to reduce a prison sentence in the case of a guilty verdict – as Sanz is expected to testify that he was drunk.

    His model wife, who was married to Alves for almost seven years, filed for divorce last year after the explosive accusations surfaced.
    The Tenerife-born beauty claimed Alves complicated things by contesting her attempts to end their marriage.
    And a Spanish TV programme went on to claim the brunette had been asked to leave his home in Barcelona after refusing to sign a confidentiality agreement.
    But confirmation of their separation came at the end of April last year after the footballer changed his version of events and it is believed the pair are in the midst of divorce proceedings.
    If as expected his wife testifies on his behalf today, it will mark an extraordinary turnaround in the relationship between the high-profile pair.
    Timeline of Dani Alves’s case
    December 30, 2022: A woman alleges she was sexually assaulted in the toilets of Sutton nightclub
    January 1, 2023: Cops in Barcelona are investigating an alleged sexual assault in a nightclub involving Dani Alves.
    January 5, 2023: Dani Alves’s alleged victim makes a formal complaint claiming she was sexually assaulted
    CCTV footage shows Alves had been alone for 47 seconds in a toilet at the nightclub with his accuser
    January 20, 2023: Alves had been remanded in custody by a judge in Barcelona
    He initially denies ever meeting his accuser but later confirms they had sex in the nightclub’s toilets – but insists was consensual
    January 31, 2023: His wife Joana Sanz, 29, demands divorce
    February 8, 2023: It emerges that Alves is said to be receiving ‘VIP treatment’ in prison
    March 17, 2023: Alves is going on hunger strike following split from wife
    November 14, 2023: The footballer is ordered to stand trial for the alleged assault
    November 24, 2023: Prosecutors demand nine years jail time and to pay the alleged victim  £130,000, if found guilty
    February 5, 2024: Alves appears in court in Spain facing twelve years in jail

    Alves initially claimed he had never met his female accuser before telling a judge in a court hearing he had lied to cover up his “marital infidelity.”
    He appeared at Barcelona’s Audiencia Provincial Court on Monday morning for the first day of his trial, which is set to last until Wednesday.
    The three judges, who are sitting without a jury as is normal in Spain for sex crime cases, have around a fortnight to announce a verdict once the trial ends.
    Alves’ rape accuser has been given permission to testify behind closed doors during the case – but according to G1 gave testimony in the same room as Alves yesterday.
    The footballer will have the option to take the stand on the last day.
    This week’s trial is the first time the former defender has appeared publicly since his arrest in January last year.
    He was sacked by Mexican side UNAM Pumas following his arrest in Barcelona at the start of last year after he flew back to the Catalan capital to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
    His wife shared a post on Instagram in March 2023 that read: “I think it’s going to take me years to erase from my memory his way of looking at me.”
    Alves responded with a grovelling letter which was later leaked to a Spanish TV station.
    The note, addressed to “My Dear Joana” and written in Spanish, said: “In these difficult moments, I regret your decision and I hope that life gives us another chance to love you again.
    “I understand the pain the unjust situation we are experiencing is causing and I understand that you have not been able to withstand all that pressure.
    “The facts of which I am accused are foreign to me and to the values that have guided my life: love, respect and effort.
    “I will continue fighting as I have always done, believing in myself with the support and confidence of those who know who I really am.”
    He also delivered a desperate pre-trial apology to the model for “cheating on her”, and said in an interview from his cell: “The only person I have to ask for forgiveness is my wife, Joana Sanz.”
    Sanz is one of 22 witnesses who will give evidence during the trial today.
    A male friend who was out with him on the night of the alleged rape is also set to take the stand alongside a number of cops.
    As well as two spells at Barcelona, Alves has played for Seville, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Sao Paulo.
    He is widely considered one of the greatest full-backs of all time and became the oldest player to represent Brazil at the World Cup in December 2022 in Qatar.
    The former football star has made repeated bail requests – which have all been rejected.
    Judges have said his alleged victim’s version of events is coherent and whereas Alves had changed his story several times as the evidence authorities have against him has emerged.

    Walker and Annie have three sons and another baby on the way
    Walker, 33, already had three children with Annie when in 2020 Lauryn gave birth to their son Kairo.
    The England defender then insisted there was never a relationship with the reality star – mother to two of his children – in a bombshell exclusive interview with The Sun.
    But she has hit back at Kyle revealing her side of the story on their affair.
    Lauryn told Mail Plus: “There was a time when I hated her… but surely any mother would question how you could accept a man back but not his child?”

    The influencer also revealed that Annie and herself have communicated about the affair and have a “mutual understanding”.
    She continued: “I won’t get into the private conversations I have had with Annie, but she did tell me ­initially she felt we were both victims of his manipulative and controlling behaviour, and at times we have got along quite well, apologised to one another and had a mutual understanding.”
    Kyle’s tell-all interview made global headlines after he revealed his deep sorrow for the pain caused to his family.
    He said he took “full responsibility” and accepted his marriage was all but over.

    But he added of Lauryn: “To have a relationship with someone … would she even know how many sugars I have in my coffee, if I have sugars? She couldn’t tell you.”
    Lauryn retaliated by posting a message on Instagram entitled “The pathological narcissist”.
    She also replied: “Flat white, no sugars please.”
    And she insisted they enjoyed a “long-standing, loving relationship”.
    It comes after friends claimed Annie fears she may go into labour early after the stress of their split.
    The former WAG, who dumped Kyle last month, is seven-months pregnant with their fourth child.
    They added: “Annie is at breaking point because of the spotlight that has been put on her.
    “She is in the final stages of her pregnancy and is terrified about going into labour early.
    “Annie is wrestling with her emotions because of her separation from Kyle and is deeply concerned about the impact of all the children involved.

    “She feels she can’t leave the house now because of the scrutiny and interest in her which she has no desire to be a part of at this time.

    KYLE told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
    The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
    He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
    “But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
    “I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations.
    “I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
    “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
    “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
    “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.” More

    “She feels she can’t leave the house now because of the scrutiny and interest in her which she has no desire to be a part of at this time.
    “She is being supported by her family and friends but this has all been incredibly traumatic for her.”
    Annie’s sister Sian has been vocal on social media in her support of Annie and earlier this week blasted Lauryn for getting involved with Kyle.
    Lauryn told Annie she had a second child with Kyle over Christmas.

    “I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time.”
    And, her fuming dad has also begged her not to go back to the footballer – or he will disown her.
    Annie has privately vowed to proceed with a divorce and has even hired Coleen Rooney’s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt.

    “The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.
    “There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.
    “The only person to blame is me.”
