F1 and the Epstein List

TL;DR

Seven major F1 figures appear in Epstein's black book, exposing a pattern of alleged misconduct among the sport's most powerful people.

Key Points

• 1.The seven F1 names in Epstein's address book: Lawrence Stroll, Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone, Jacques Villeneuve, Eddie Irvine, Pedro de la Rosa, and Alejandro Agag — all listed with home addresses, phone numbers, and alleged direct interactions with Epstein.
• 2.Lawrence Stroll reportedly attended Epstein's home with "models as serving girls" in 2003, per the DOJ's 3 million leaked Epstein files; his wife also emailed Ghislaine Maxwell referencing the island and their daughter Chloe (then age 6).
• 3.Flavio Briatore, already infamous for orchestrating Crashgate 2008, was dating a woman 49 years younger at age 69 and remains Alpine's team boss despite his Epstein connection and long history of controversy.
• 4.Christian Horner's WhatsApp harassment scandal is revisited — he sent inappropriate messages to a female coworker, faced no real punishment, and was only removed from Red Bull over performance issues.
• 5.FIA leadership fares no better: FIA president Ben Sulayem is criticized for inappropriate behavior toward drivers, former FIA president Max Mosley had a documented S&M scandal and allegedly paid £12,000 for a spanking video, and Johnny Herbert harassed a female reporter on live TV yet kept his career for 15+ years.
• 6.The F1 community largely ignored these connections and instead directed outrage at commentator Oli Bearman for Discord messages, while figures like Zak Brown — who sued IndyCar driver Alex Palou for $12 million — maintained close ties with Epstein-linked individuals.
