TRANSCRIPT OF DAKOTA ELAINE MCMANUS' INTERVIEW WITH SKYSPORTS UK REPORTER TED KRAVITZ

TED: How are you feeling, Dakota?

DAKOTA: I'm feeling something, which I guess is better than not feeling anything. Right now it's mostly dread. It's a pretty overwhelming feeling now that everybody knows my business.

TED: You know that what happened wasn't your fault, right?

DAKOTA: That's what people keep telling me. Ted, I wanted to give you something.

*Dakota slides a suede notebook across the coffee table in AlphaTauri hospitality."

DAKOTA: Everything that you need to know is in here. Everything that Helmut Marko ever said to me. Every diet, every training regiment, every physical repercussion.

TED: Dakota, why are you giving this to me of all people?

DAKOTA: Because I know that you'll know what to do with it.

TED: You want me to publish the entries. Dakota, do you understand what that will do to Red Bull? Do to the sport?

DAKOTA: Ted, you're supposed to be on my side.

TED: I never said that I wasn't on your side, Mac. I just said that maybe you aren't ready for the repercussions of going any more public than you already were. You're better off letting it fade into the background.

DAKOTA: Ted, I can't sleep through the night anymore. I wake up screaming thinking about what happened to me. I may never be able to have children. My migraines are worse than they have ever been. We could have a repeat of Mexico City on our hands. Ted, I need closure. And this is the only way for me to get it.

TED: . . . Okay. . . I'll see what I can do. Dakota? Do you know how brave you are?

DAKOTA: People keep trying to tell me that . . . but I don't feel brave at all.
