McLaren F1 sponsor under pressure after Epstein files ‘torture video’ email
Prominent McLaren F1 sponsor DP World is facing pressure due to alleged connections between its chief executive, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and the controversial Epstein files released by the US government.
Bin Sulayem’s alleged correspondences with Jeffrey Epstein have resulted in actions affecting DP World’s business relations, with entities like British International Investment suspending investments in ports operated by DP World.
The allegations have prompted responses from various organizations, including a Canadian pension fund severing ties with DP World and British International Investment expressing shock over the situation.
While being named in the Epstein files is not proof of wrongdoing, DP World has not yet commented on the matter when contacted.
DP World’s sponsorship of McLaren F1 began in 2023 and has expanded over the years, with their branding prominently featured on the team’s car and driver overalls.
Bin Sulayem’s leadership at DP World has made the company one of the largest port operators globally, and they also own P&O Ferries.
The Epstein files contain emails suggesting a close relationship between Bin Sulayem and Epstein, raising questions and concerns about the nature of their association.
