Internal Processes, If Not Effective, Can Really Affect Public Perception

I am a Formula 1 fan, and have been for some time. The reason being is the Netflix show 'Drive to Survive' and it has just returned for its seventh season. The return raises the issue of last year's scandal surrounding Red Bull.

The subject is covered in one of the episodes, but yet again it is unclear as to what actually happened. The problem here for me is this: there were allegations of inappropriate behavior brought, resulting in an ensuing media circus. Speculation was rife as to what had occurred. Very little, if any, was confirmed by the parties concerned and the wider public were told that an internal inquiry into the matter would be held.

The trouble is, the 'noise' around the matter was never effectively dealt with, and further suggestions were made about NDAs, and a whole raft of other suggestions. I must point out at this juncture that none of the aforementioned were confirmed and as such remain conjecture.
