It has come to my attention that some pictures have been circulating of me and Charles Leclerc in Baku last year. I want to ask you all to reserve your judgment until I have told my side of the story. But there is only one person I will tell it to. Get me in a room with Naomi Schiff, because she's the only person that I trust.

We understand that pictures of Dakota McManus and Charles Leclerc are being shared online. 

We ask all of our fans to withhold judgment and keep their opinions to themselves as this is obviously a difficult situation for Dakota.

We also want to reiterate in regards to vast conspiracy theories that Red Bull Racing did not leak these images to ruin Miss McManus' reputation. As a team, we hope that this does not affect her chances of finding future employment in this sport and encourage the other team bosses to hear her out and judge her solely for her impressive resume.

isnt it funny how these pictures which were taken last year and clearly held on to are only being released now that dakota is out of contract and looking for a new job? these pictures were clearly released to ruin her working and professional relationship within f1, by somebody who doesnt want her to have a career on the pit wall
