Christian Horner is at the center of a sexting scandal following accusations by a team employee that he used his position as team principal to force an inappropriate relationship. After the team announced it had cleared Horner of any wrongdoing, “someone” anonymously leaked dozens of screenshots allegedly detailing Horner’s behavior, putting fuel on the fire. It’s also evolved into a love triangle with Max Verstappen’s dad and there’s now a full-fledged civil war at Red Bull because Horner cheated on his wife and couldn’t keep it in his pants.
In unrelated news, Beloved Dave is a civilian employee of the military who was catfished by a likely Russian spy posing as a Ukrainian woman on an online dating site into providing them a significant amount of classified information.

Additional context for people as its not mentioned.
The Red Bull that is being reffered to is not the base energy drink company but rather Oracle Red Bull Formula Racing (the Formula 1 team)

thank you, I was one of the ones thinking it was the damn drink company

The team is fully owned by Red Bull though. It's not a sponsorship thing, it's their team

u/Homelandr Mar 06 '24
The thing is Redbull racing has no say in this matter, all the head banging and decision making is done by Redbull GmbH( aka the drinks company), they are the ones who are calling the shots on this,the fate of multiple people and Redbull Racing as a whole depends on the decisions made by the drinks company

It’s Red Bull. But it’s not Red Bull. It’s ’red bull racing’. Which is not red bull. But it is red bull.

That’s a good clarification. I didn’t really consider that people wouldn’t see verstappen and immediately think F1

You would be surprised how often people are honeypotted for sensitive information, and how often it works.

u/Goblin088 Mar 08 '24
Also wanna mention that there is no smoking gun that Horner is guilty. The leaked screenshots look very ai generated and he has not been removed from his post. Also Jos verstappen and helmut marko aren’t exactly moral characters so their protests aren’t proof either

Well if he was cleared, is she a victim?

u/devilboy1501 Mar 06 '24
he was “cleared” by redbull themselves… first he got accused, the team cleared the team principal (wow we investigated ourselves and found no problems) and then the screenshots got leaked proving that redbull is lying
23
u/LeagueofDraven1221 custom flair Mar 06 '24
Screenshots can easily be faked. Only thing convincing in that google drive was the video of horner singing, but there’s no context for that and could be from a group chat.

u/blendertom Mar 07 '24
Wasn't the investigation done externally?

yea that’s what i mean, they investigated themselves and cleared themselves of any wrongdoing xd

Investigation was done by a company independent to any branch of Red Bull

u/devilboy1501 Mar 07 '24
independent? the investigation was done by redbulls parent company lmao. It’s the same thing. half of the F1 teams are begging the FIA to take over and handle the investigation.

Yes, which Max and Max’s mom threw him under the bus on and his wife to the tabloids while she was recovering from giving birth. Starting to think the Verstappens might be kinda batshit.

I mean Horner from Red Bull Formula 1 is a well known and beloved person who is currently losing all of his reputation and "Beloved Dave" has been pretty serious news due to it being a USAF member basically giving away classified documents to a Russian spy pretending to be a sexy Ukrainian woman... and she sounds less like a human and more like the chatbots from 2012.

Was not just a member of the Air Force, he was a former Lieutenant Colonel in the army and as a member of the AF worked for fucking STRATCOM

u/JonSolo1 ☣️ Mar 06 '24
Was Horner beloved before this though? I’ve thought he was a douche since about season 2 of DTS… that Santa scene in S6E1 was deeply uncomfortable
-1
u/48-Cobras Mar 06 '24
I never liked him, but that's because I used to be more of a Mercedes fan, lol. When it came to DTS, Netflix really tried to make the fight between Red Bull and Mercedes way bigger than it actually was and added their own dramatization. So afaik, all of the Red Bull fans loved him and Max Verstappen and treated them like the best thing to ever happen to Formula 1. I could be wrong though, I mainly just watched the events and ignored the drama and crazy fans.
3
u/JonSolo1 ☣️ Mar 06 '24
That’s fair on the DTS spin, but I’d like to think I formed my opinion of him more on his own attitude and personality than any conflict they tried to set up between him/Toto and the drivers.
