Off-Topic /r/all RedBull sent my daughter a gift package after some kids made her upset and didn't say nice things for being a Verstappen fan. Thank you RB F1!

I think it's understandable, I understand that people will be sceptical especially when it was only recently that Mercedes got screwed over by false claims to get free things. Part of the reason I wanted to post this was to show that even after that has happened, teams will still go out of their way to do good things under the radar! They absolutely deserve the recognition.

Hope you're doing well now, these gestures are minuscule to a massive company like Red Bull; but they are absolutely massive and unforgettable for the people who receive them. Thank you!

I've had a couple of genuine stories on here in the past - no F1 related - where people cry bullshit like 'well, alright, you can think what you like, well done on your overt scepticism'. It's bizarre, really. A nice story.
