Geri Horner flew out to Bahrain to be with her husband, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, as he continues to be the biggest story in Formula 1.

A female employee at the team accused Horner of 'inappropriate behaviour' toward her, sparking an internal investigation which has overshadowed the team's start to the season.

Red Bull eventually dismissed the complainant’s case, the announcement of which was soon followed by leaked documents purportedly showing messages between Horner and the complainant. The authenticity of the files has not been proven.

Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez seemed able to block out the gossip around the paddock, taking a one-two victory in the Bahrain GP with Verstappen cruising to the finish line almost 20 seconds ahead of his team-mate.

After Verstappen passed the chequered flag, he and Horner had a relaxed and happy exchange over the radio, seemingly unaffected by the drama off-track.

Verstappen said: "That was simply lovely what a great race, great start to the years guys, one-two as well. Fantastic."
