Geri Halliwell will be on the grid during the Bahrain Grand Prix in a show of solidarity with her under-fire husband Christian Horner after text messages and photographs the Red Bull chief allegedly sent to a female employee were leaked. Ben Sulayem admitted that the controversy surrounding Red Bull team principal is ‘damaging the sport’. It is not certain if the messages were presented to the Red Bull-led investigation, but it is believed they probably were. On the day of the leaked WhatsApp messages, Horner’s rival team principals added to the storm and called for the FIA and Formula One to scrutinise Red Bull’s decision.
