What is going on with Max Verstappen and Geri Halliwell?

Geri Halliwell

Do you also think at almost every Formula 1 race you watch: hey, that woman in the (usually) white suit, she really looks a lot like Geri Halliwell? If so, then I have some fun news for you because that woman is Geri Halliwell. Because, dear viewers, she is the wife of Christian Horner who is the team leader of Red Bull Racing or rather of Max Verstappen. Edgar brings Geri Halliwell back into the spotlight and that calls for a list of funny, entertaining, and wonderful facts.

1. She had sex with Mel B
Just once, and they both giggled about it and that was it. But still nice to know.

2. She grew up as a Jehovah's Witness
She no longer adheres to this belief, but she does say she is spiritual.

3. She pinched Prince Charles on his butt
And apparently he didn't find it very unpleasant, because when she left the Spice Girls, he wrote her a letter saying that the Spice Girls would never be the same without her.

4. She is the second richest Spice Girl
Victoria Beckham, with her 450 million, is of course the biggest Scrooge. After her, there is a long gap, and then nothing, and then Geri pops up with a not too shabby 50 million.

5. Do you remember that famous Union Jack dress? She designed it herself.

6. She recovered from her bulimia thanks to Robbie Williams
She weighed only 47 kilos when Robbie Williams got the cue to say something about it. And then she decided to do something about it.

7. She received a car from George Michael for her 27th birthday
Oh, George, what a wonderful person you were.

8. She hosted a Turkish show: Let’s Make a Deal
No idea how that came about, but still too fun to leave unmentioned.

9. Her daughter is named Bluebell Madonna
Bluebell because this flower is very rare and her daughter is of course too, and Madonna because she became the mother who gave life to this child. She herself said that her daughter came out of her and screamed as if to say: ‘Hi, Wembley Stadium, here I am.’ I find it very funny.

Next week there is another race and I am ready. A bit for Max, but especially for that glimpse of Geri.
