克里斯蒂安·霍纳讲述了妻子、名人杰瑞·哈利维尔如何帮助他克服因F1纪录片《极速求生》带来的名气上升而遭遇的敌意。
自2015年以来，霍纳一直与前辣妹组合成员哈莉韦尔结婚，她于1994年22岁时加入了这个举世闻名的流行乐队，这意味着她早年就已成名。
对霍纳而言，成名要晚得多，很大程度上归功于2019年在Netflix上线的《极速求生》，这导致F1的受欢迎程度飙升，并向新的观众群体敞开了大门。
因此，更多人开始认识这位前红牛车队负责人，他扮演了“哑剧反派”的角色——尤其是在他与梅赛德斯车队负责人托托·沃尔夫的激烈竞争中。
两人花了十年时间争夺F1冠军，由于他们受到的关注增加，尤其是霍纳，仇恨和批评自然也随之增加。
霍纳对《Autosport》表示：“我在赛车运动中和媒体打交道的方式是共存，你需要接触车手和车队，双方都有各自的角色要履行。”

“双方都需要彼此。随着《极速求生》的出现，车队领队突然成了名人，杰里和她经历过的——你得记住，她曾是史上最伟大女子乐队的一员。
“所以她在很小年纪就见识到的名气是天文数字级别的，那还是在互联网出现之前、报纸能写出非常恶毒内容的时代。”
“她对这一切变得非常麻木，甚至到了她说‘我根本不看’的地步。她极少会去读一篇文章，所以对我来说，她真是了不起。
“只要你自己内心快乐，就别管……每个人都会有看法，有人可能喜欢，有人可能不喜欢，但只要你忠于自己就好。
“我永远忘不了她对我说：‘你必须记住的是，别人拍你后背夸你，离踹你屁股只有六英寸！’
“所以他们会前一分钟爱你，下一分钟就对你恶语相向。所以她一直是一股力量，很有能力，而且她永远只看到别人身上的好。”
其中一个特别的时刻发生在F1 75 Live活动上，这是2025年在伦敦O2体育馆举办的新赛季发布活动，各车队在活动上展示了他们新赛季的新形象。
但当霍纳伴随着滚石乐队的《Start Me Up》登台时，歌曲被观众的嘘声淹没，这对这位英国人来说显然是一个令人不适的时刻。
“你有什么选择？你要么缩进壳里走下舞台，要么就硬着头皮面对，”霍纳补充道，他在五个月后被免职。
“我从来不是那种会退缩的人，每个人都有权发表自己的看法。你不可能成为所有人喜欢的那杯茶，不可能成为所有人的宠儿。
“显然我们得到的反应并不算最友好，但随后又有人来找你自拍，迫不及待地想和你合影。
“所以这有点矛盾。这几乎让人挺困惑的，‘好吧，如果你不喜欢我，为什么还要找我拍照？’
“当我重新坐下时，其实是Geri对我说，‘记住，他们只有在乎才会嘘你，如果他们不在乎，就什么都不会说’。所以你能得到的最糟糕的反应是什么都没有！”

How Geri Halliwell helped Christian Horner deal with fan hate
The former Spice Girl is married to Horner, who was once booed on stage at an F1 season launch event in 2025
Geri Horner with Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing
Christian Horner has explained how his celebrity wife Geri Halliwell helped him overcome the hate that came with his rise in fame thanks to Formula 1 drama Drive to Survive.
Since 2015 Horner has been married to former Spice Girl Halliwell, who joined the world-famous pop band in 1994 at the age of 22, meaning she had fame from early on in her life.
For Horner it came much later and largely due to Drive to Survive launching on Netflix in 2019, which consequently caused F1’s popularity to spike and open it up to a new audience.
So more individuals became aware of the former Red Bull boss, who played into the ‘pantomime villain’ role - particularly during his heated rivalry with Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff.
Both individuals spent a decade vying for the F1 title and due to the increased spotlight on them, particularly Horner, the hate and criticism naturally increased.
“The way I worked with the media in motorsport was that we co-existed and you needed access to the drivers and the team and both had a role to fulfil,” Horner told Autosport.
Watch: Christian Horner on Toto, Abu Dhabi 2021 and Life After Red Bull.
“Both needed each other. With the advent of Drive to Survive, suddenly team principals [were] becoming personalities, Geri and her experience, you have to remember that she was part of the biggest girl band of all time.
“So the fame that she saw at a very young age was astronomical in a time before the internet and when papers could write very nasty things.
“She became very hardened to it and to the point that she says, ‘I don't look at it’. She very rarely will read an article and so for me, she was incredibly good.
“As long as you're happy in yourself, ignore what…everybody's going to have an opinion and somebody might like, somebody might not like, but just be true to yourself.
“I never forget she told me, ‘What you have to remember is a pat on the back is six inches from a kick up the arse!
“So they'll love you one minute, you'll get shit the next minute. So she has been a force and has an ability and she only ever sees the good in people.”
One particular moment came during F1 75 Live, which was a season launch event held at the O2 London in 2025, where teams unveiled their new looks for the year ahead.
But when Horner entered the stage to Rolling Stones hit Start Me Up, the song was drowned out by boos from the crowd in a clearly uncomfortable moment for the Briton.
“What are your choices? You either shrink into a shell and walk off the stage or you front it out,” added Horner, who was removed from his position five months later.
“I've never been one to shy away and everybody is entitled to have their opinion. You can't be everybody's cup of tea, everybody's darling.
“Obviously we didn't get the friendliest of reactions, but then you've got people asking for selfies and desperate to get pictures with you.
“So it's kind of a contrast. It was almost quite confusing, ‘Well, if you don't like me, why are you asking for a picture?’
“When I sat back down it was actually Geri that said to me, ‘just remember they only boo when they care, if they don't care they don't say anything’. So the worst reaction you can have is nothing!”
