Marnik Kok caught the Formula 1 world around twenty years ago. A deep passion for motorsport, Ferrari, and a background in journalism led him to contribute to various (international) F1 platforms. Since 2020, Marnik has been active as an editor and journalist in the pinnacle of motorsport for several media outlets, including De Telegraaf. As of 2025, he brings that experience to GPblog as a seasoned editor.
During his active years as a journalist — now working as a freelancer — Marnik attended numerous events, with the Dutch Grand Prix standing out as one of the highlights. In addition to his work at GPblog, Marnik is also active in the communications sector at a major national provider and steps in wherever needed. Sitting still is not an option — especially not in motorsport!
It’s, to say the least, been a rough week for the Horner family. Christian Horner was fired as CEO, and now his partner, Geri Halliwell, is facing serious setbacks of her own. Her publishing company is reportedly dealing with a debt exceeding one million euros.
The former Spice Girl, now Horner’s wife, isn’t involved in racing, but Horner’s dismissal has clearly had an impact on her as well.
Geri is focused on other ventures, including work with her former publishing company, Falcon Queen Productions.
According to The Standard, that company has now racked up debts of over one million pounds — more than €1.15 million. This news surfaced just days after Horner’s departure, revealing that her company is currently in the red.
Two years ago, the debt stood at around £275,000; a year later, it jumped to £750,000. Now, it has surpassed the million-pound mark.

Yet little financial concern for Horner and Halliwell
The Mirror reports that her main company, Wonderful Productions, actually earned £2.16 million (almost €2.5 million) in just one year.
Founded at the peak of the Spice Girls’ success, the company has generated income from music and sponsorship deals — so wiping out a million isn’t out of the question.
Moreover, Horner and Geri will have plenty in their bank accounts — and that’s not even factoring in the severance package Horner is likely to receive. He’s still under contract with Red Bull until 2030, so a substantial payout is definitely on the horizon.
