THE female staffer Christian Horner sent intimate messages to asked the F1 chief how he would feel if his wife did the same.

Leaked private texts appeared to suggest Red Bull Racing boss Horner, 50, pestered the woman for pictures and engaged in secret flirty chats behind his wife’s back.

Horner was yesterday left reeling when a vast trove of private texts were revealed a day after he had been cleared of wrongdoing.

Hundreds of flirty WhatsApp sexts were sent to F1 teams and media outlets.

The woman – who works with Horner at the all-conquering grand prix team’s Milton Keynes HQ – apparently tired of his pleas for pictures and sexy chat, according to the WhatsApp dossier.

She asked him to refrain – and even asked how the married dad would feel if Geri was behaving in the same way with one of her staff.
