Christian Horner and Geri Halliwell have formed a united front after being spotted together at a horse race on Easter Saturday.
The couple were all smiles as they attended Kimblewick Races in Buckinghamshire yesterday to watch their horse Lift Me Up compete in the point-to-point competition.
Geri, 51, looked delighted alongside her husband when the horse, named after her 1991 solo hit, came first.
The mother-of-two was pictured holding the winner’s trophy with Christian, as well as posing for photos with the horse and its rider, Jack Edwards.
It comes as the fallout from the Red Bull sexting scandal continues, with Netflix confirming it will cover the furor in its new season of popular docuseries Drive to Survive.

The sport of Formula One has been rocked in recent weeks by allegations of inappropriate behavior against Horner, 50, made by a colleague on his team.
The Red Bull team principal has since been cleared of wrongdoing by an independent panel and has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
However, his future remains under scrutiny following text messages between H.Orner and what appears to be a female colleague were leaked in 79 screenshots, when an anonymous sender sent an email that also copied FIA boss Mohammed Ben Sulayem and F1 boss Stefano Domenicali.
The accuser has been suspended as the saga continues, sparking fury from campaign groups who claim “women simply have no confidence that their complaints will be properly investigated”.
Throughout the furore, Geri has been steadfast in her support for her husband, making a high-profile show of support by turning up at the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.
Last week, James Gay-Rees, the boss of Drive to Survive, the show that documents the dramas of the F1 season, addressed the scandal and revealed how his team plans to deal with it.
“It will have to be referenced somehow, yes,” he told The Telegraph. “And everyone will want it to be told in a particular way, so it’s about treading that line to keep everyone happy and keep Netflix and us happy, so we can sleep at night with the decisions we’ve made.”
‘You have to have balance. I think Horner looks good at the moment, but it doesn’t look like he’s done yet. Everything will depend on how it develops.
“I don’t know what he did, and I don’t really have an opinion on it, but he’s been through it and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
Gay-Rees also said he had spoken to Horner since the allegations came to light and revealed what the racing boss told him.
“Yes, that’s what Christian told me: ‘This is all your fault,'” he added.
Campaign groups have backed an employee who has been suspended after she made a complaint against Red Bull team boss Christian Horner (left) over inappropriate sexual text messages.
The woman, aged in her 40s, went to Human Resources at the Formula 1 team after receiving messages from Horner, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
On track, it has been a good start to the season for Red Bull, with driver Max Verstappen winning the first two races before being forced to withdraw from the Australian Grand Prix.
However, the scandal could still continue as campaign groups back the now-suspended employee.
Alesha De Freitas, head of policy at The Fawcett Society, which fights for women’s rights at work, home and public life, said: “Sadly, this is not uncommon.
‘Women simply do not trust that their complaints will be properly investigated and one has to wonder if this is the case here.
‘What has happened to this woman reinforces the message that you are taking a big risk as an individual by speaking out and that you really want to do it, which is wrong.
‘What is most worrying is that an unnamed KC has carried out this investigation on behalf of the company and the results have not been made public in full.
“I’m not saying the entire report should be made public, but certainly the grounds for dismissing your claim.
‘How can you be confident that due process has been followed if that is the outcome and you are suspended for raising concerns?
‘What is the due process around this? It looks awesome.’
Horner is seen hugging Halliwell closely in Jeddah as Red Bull claimed another double victory on March 7.
Horner was charged with “coercive behaviour”, but an internal investigation chaired by an unknown Red Bull-appointed KC cleared him.

MailOnline has previously revealed how the woman at the center of the texting scandal told friends she “feels let down” by the Austria-based FI team, which also has a base in Milton Keynes where she worked.
Officials suspended her for “dishonesty” just after announcing that Horner had been exonerated, but she has now appealed although no timeline has been set for her case.
Red Bull took action against her after suggestive WhatsApp messages were sent from an anonymous email address to 149 people, including F1 officials and motorsport correspondents.
The woman insists she was not the source and is “disappointed” by how the company she has worked for has treated her for the past five years.
A friend said: “Questions need to be asked about the Red Bull investigation, transparency would bring confidence in what is happening to them.”
“She just can’t get over the fact that she filed a complaint and was suspended; all she wants is transparency in the process.”
The woman’s request echoes that of Red Bull Racing’s current engine partner, Honda, who also asked for “clarity” about the investigation that ultimately cleared Horner.
