Sacked Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner's wife Geri Horner hit by £1 million debt
Christian Horner is going through a challenging time both professionally and personally. In addition to being sacked by Red Bull as Team Principal, Horner recently lost his first wife Beverley Allen to cancer.
It has now come to light that his second wife, Geri Horner, is facing financial troubles, with her book company reportedly in £1 million debt, according to The Standard. While Horner may not be directly involved in the company's operations, the situation is still a matter of concern for the family.

facing debt
According to The Mirror, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, now known as Geri Horner, has seen her company, Falcon Queen Productions, incur losses for some time, with its deficit rising from £276,000 to £750,000.
However, her larger company, Wonderful Productions, generated more than £2 million in revenue up to August last year. Founded in 1997, the company derives income from her music royalties and brand deals.
Just days before Christian Horner was sacked by Red Bull, his first wife and the mother of his daughter, Beverley Allen, passed away from eye cancer. The couple shared an 11-year-old daughter and had separated in 2014.

Christian Horner's exit from Red Bull
Multiple factors are believed to have contributed to Christian Horner's dismissal after a successful 20-year tenure. These include the significant power he held as Team Principal, misconduct allegations made by a Red Bull employee, and the underperformance of the current F1 car.
Horner shared a heartfelt message on social media following his departure from Red Bull. He wrote, 'After an incredible journey of twenty years together, it is with a heavy heart that today I say goodbye to the Team I have absolutely loved.'
After thanking his colleagues and rivals, the 51-year-old concluded, 'It's been an honour to be part of this incredible era of motorsport. I leave with immense pride in what we've achieved and also with what's in the pipeline for 2026 — and huge respect for everyone who's made F1 the pinnacle it is today.'

Pakistan cricket in turmoil! Audit exposes crores in corruption and overpayments
NEW DELHI: The Auditor General of Pakistan has flagged major financial irregularities amounting to millions of rupees within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), including unauthorised appointments and excess payments to match officials.

AstraZeneca drug lowers high blood pressure in late-stage study
AstraZeneca said on Monday its experimental drug baxdrostat significantly lowered blood pressure in a late-stage trial of patients with treatment-resistant hypertension. The news sent shares of the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker up by almost 2%. The company said it expects peak annual sales for the drug to exceed $5 billion, driven by its use as a standalone therapy and in combination with Farxiga , its blockbuster treatment - one that generates $1 billion or more in annual sales - for type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo Baxdrostat met the main and secondary goals of the study, showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in systolic blood pressure at 12 weeks when added to standard treatment at two doses, and compared with placebo, AstraZeneca said. It acquired baxdrostat through its 2023 purchase of CinCor Pharma as part of efforts to expand its pipeline in heart and kidney disease. Live Events The drug targets aldosterone, a hormone that raises blood pressure, offering a new approach distinct from older treatments like ACE inhibitors that do not address hormonal drivers, AstraZeneca says. High blood pressure affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. AstraZeneca is testing baxdrostat in four indications, including chronic kidney disease and prevention of heart failure, in a clinical programme involving more than 20,000 patients. Shares in London's biggest listed company by market value were up 1.9% at 0834 GMT and among the top gainers on the FTSE 100 index in early trading. Mineralys Therapeutics is developing a similar drug, lorundrostat, and expects to submit data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the end of the year. AstraZeneca said it will present full trial results at a medical conference in August but did not say when it will seek U.S. approval. Its shares are flat this year to date though they have outperformed Europe's benchmark healthcare index by about 5.5%, Barclays analysts said in a note on Monday.
