Geri Horner pictured for first time with husband Christian after scandal

The Spice Girl wife of the embattled Formula 1 boss Christian Horner has been spotted for the first time since the explosive messages alleged to be from her husband were leaked.

Christian Horner, the boss of Red Bull, was cleared of misconduct earlier this week following an investigation into allegations he had behaved inappropriately to a female employee.

Red Bull Austria, the team's parent company, said in a statement on Wednesday that the grievance has been dismissed.

"The complainant has a right of appeal. Red Bull is confident that the investigation has been fair, rigorous and impartial," they added.

"The investigation report is confidential and contains the private information of the parties and third parties who assisted in the investigation, and therefore we will not be commenting further out of respect for all concerned. Red Bull will continue striving to meet the highest workplace standards."

However, on Thursday, a tranche of alleged messages from Christian Horner were leaked to members of the F1 community and the media. It had been rumoured his wife, Geri Horner, would not attend the season-opening race in Bahrain this weekend following the leak.

However, the 51-year-old Spice Girl appeared hand-in-hand with Christian on Saturday afternoon, just hours before the race was due to start. The couple made their way into the Paddock prior to the Grand Prix at Bahrain's International circuit today, the Mirror reports.

Dressed in her signature white, the singer-turned-author made an unmistakeable show of support as she beamed for the cameras.

Red Bull previously confirmed they are investigating an allegation that her husband was inappropriate to a colleague, which he denies. No further details have been given about
