Christian Horner was recently sacked by Red Bull after leading the company to multiple championship victories during his two-decade-long tenure. However, the news of his dismissal wasn’t the only shock for the former Team Principal. Just days before his removal, he also lost his first wife, Beverley Allen , to cancer.
Christian Horner was married to Beverley Allen until 2014
Christian Horner and Beverley Allen were married for 14 years until their separation in 2014 and have an 11-year-old daughter, Olivia. Horner had joined Red Bull in 2005 while still married to Allen. After their separation, he went on to marry Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in 2015.
Allen had been battling eye cancer for two years. She passed away last Monday at the age of 58. According to the Daily Mail, one of her friends said, “Beverley was a lovely woman, and it is so cruel what has happened to her. She found out she had eye cancer a couple of years ago and knew the prognosis wasn’t good, but it’s still a devastating shock. Beverley was loved by everyone who knew her. It’s just heartbreaking.”
Christian Horner sacked by Red Bull
Since joining Red Bull in 2005, Christian Horner led the team to 14 Formula 1 championship titles, many of them with Sebastian Vettel and later with Max Verstappen. Under his leadership, the team won six Constructors' Championships and eight Drivers’ Championships.
However, things began to go downhill for Horner last year after a Red Bull employee filed a misconduct complaint against him. Although the company cleared him of any wrongdoing, the incident is believed to have played a role in his eventual dismissal.
Despite winning the F1 Championship last year, Red Bull has struggled this season with an underperforming car. Verstappen has frequently complained about issues with balance and pace.
On paper, Horner remains employed by Red Bull on an $18 million contract but has been placed on indefinite gardening leave. Racing Bulls boss Laurent Mekies has taken over as Red Bull Team Principal.
