Geri Halliwell is reportedly being supported by all of the Spice Girls amid the probe into Christian Horner.
Horner has been accused of inappropriate behaviour by a Red Bull employee, something the 50-year-old strongly denies.
He attended the team's car launch on Thursday and also put to bed rumours of a rift with Max Verstappen's father, Jos.
Previous reports have claimed Geri has been rocked by the allegations, with some even suggesting the 51-year-old has hit 'rock bottom'.

And The Sun say Geri is being supported by the rest of the Spice Girls while Horner fights to clear his name.
Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham are said to be 'rallying around' the singer at such a testing time.
A source is quoted as saying: “They are quietly supporting her behind the scenes and checking in to make sure she is OK.
“Geri has been left broken by the ordeal, but is grateful for the kindness being shown to her by friends.”
Horner is reportedly hoping to clear his name this week, prior to the first race of the new F1 season in Bahrain.
He has already spoken with an independent lawyer for eight hours, categorically denying the claims made by the Red Bull employee.
And he's said to be happy to continue to co-operate with the investigation 'for as long as necessary'.
Horner has been in charge of Red Bull racing ever since being appointed as the F1 side's team principal back in 2005.
The 50-year-old helped Sebastian Vettel dominate, with the German scooping four titles in a row between 2010 and 2013.
And Horner has played a key role in the rise of Verstappen, too, with the 26-year-old winning the last three world titles.
With the new F1 season creeping closer, a swift resolution would suit all parties.
But there's no guarantee that'll happen amid claims the investigation could stretch into the new campaign.
Horner thanked Geri for her support when speaking earlier in the week.
"I have a very supportive family and a very supportive wife," he said.
"My focus has been on the job and the season ahead."
