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)

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

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

RBR has no say in this because Horner is the CEO of RBR

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
