Geri Halliwell is back by Christian Horner’s side on race day at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in the latest sign she will stand by her husband amid the ongoing saga.
The Spice Girl singer made her first public appearance since the allegations were made against Horner at last week’s season-opening race in Bahrain.
The couple held hands and then shared a kiss at the Bahrain International Circuit to show their unity.
The Red Bull team principal was cleared of any wrongdoing after being accused of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by a female employee within the team.

But the scandal has taken several twists since then with messages purporting to be between Horner and the female employee being leaked.
Jos Verstappen has also questioned whether Horner can continue in charge of Red Bull, raising doubts on whether his son shares a similar view.
The female employee has been suspended by Red Bull and it was reported on Friday that Verstappen’s close confidant Helmut Marko was also facing a suspension in relation to the saga.
Horner has continued to be defiant in the face of questions, praising his “phenomenally supportive” wife for how she has handled the situation.
And Halliwell has continued to show her support for her husband by returning to the F1 paddock in Jeddah this weekend.
Horner appeared in high spirits with his wife by his side with the pair snapped chatting with each other.
The 50-year-old has now said it is time to move on from the scandal that has engulfed the sport and the reigning world champions.
He said: “It’s obviously been a very trying period. I’m married and have three children.
“I’m very fortunate that I have a beautiful family and a very supportive wife. And I’m the only one who has been named in this.

“So of course it’s very trying, it’s very challenging, because when there’s children involved, when there’s families, parents etc involved, it’s not pretty.
“My wife has been phenomenally supportive through this, as has my family, but the intrusion on my family is now enough, and we need to move forward and focus on what we are here for.
“It is time now to focus on why we are here, which is to go Formula 1 racing.”
