Hello Scarlet. How is your knee recovering?
Toto! It's ok... I have my first physio session next Wednesday so fingers crossed How are you?
That's good to hear. I am not bad however there is something we need to discuss
oh... is everything ok? should I come into the office?
No no don't worry too much. I'm sure you're aware of recent 'leaked' red bull texts circulating in relation to your crash and previous events. We have been given a transcript of the messages,and we are currently deciding whether we wish to press a case against RBR. The FIA are aware but they are waiting for our decision. The messages show intent to reckless driving and endangerment.
Oh wow... That is a lot to take in right now. Are we sure these messages are legit? Do we know how they were leaked?
The data forensics team have authenticated the text messages to be 85% authentic. Currently we do not know who leaked them, but believed to be from inhouse or ex employee of RBR. I know, sorry to dump this on you but Lewis and I thought best that you have to be part o the decision.
yeah, I understand. so someone at RedBull leaked these messages? why? do you have a copy of the messages? can I see them? When did you need my answer by?
Yes, we have a transcript of the messages. Although the recipient has been blanked out. I'll send them over for you. By next Thursday. If you want to consult our legal team let me know and I'll arrange.
Thank-You Toto. What do you think we should do?
I think the messages show intent to endanger one of my drivers, but it's never as straight forward as that. The FIA will likely want to suspend the people in question.
Do we know the people in question?
Yes. It's Max Verstappen and his engineers We believe however that it was orchestrated by Senior directors in the team.
Can you send me the transcript. I'll have a look now.
Sure. Toto Wolff sent you the file 'Transcripts 1-42.pdf'
I'll let you know soon. Thanks Toto
No worries Scarlet. Sorry to bother you whilst you're recovering. read 14:58
