Sky Sports viewers left bemused by decision to interview Geri Horner just moments after greatest F1 finish ever
A BEAMING Geri Horner gave a proud speech on behalf of husband Christian and his Red Bull team.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner, 48, was celebrating Max Verstappen’s title winning race in Abu Dhabi.
And Geri, 49, was asked how the race was from her perspective.
The Spice Girl told Sky Sports: “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.”
The Horners then embraced as Christian pulled Geri towards him.
Geri was then asked how tough the year had been for Christian.

She responded: “Well, forgive me for being this honest, but I have to say, Christian told me this has been the toughest year he has ever experienced.
“But, they are such a good team who pull together.”
On Twitter fans laughed at the timing, after one of the most controversial and exciting endings to an F1 season.
Clocky DMac wrote: “Poor Jenson Button having to endure an interview with the massively cringey Christian & Geri Horner.”
North Villan quipped: “The biggest scandal in F1 history today. Sky said that Geri Horner was a singer/songwriter.”
But Geri also has her fans. Dingers and Frogs said: “Absolutely unfair bringing Geri in for the interview when I’m trying to hate Christian Horner.”
