Contention persists between Schumacher and Etienne, with both maintaining a stance of no dramatics and emphasizing the importance of having the right collaborator.
In the world of car rental services, an unexpected feud has emerged between the partners of former Formula One racer Ralf Schumacher and his ex-wife Cora Schumacher. The battlefield? Social media.
The latest salvo in this entertaining and provocative exchange was fired by Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne, Ralf's partner, who released a parody ad for Munich-based car rental service, Finn. The ad, which has garnered positive feedback on Instagram with comments like "Hilarious" and "You guys are so cool," not only promotes the affordability of Finn's cars but also takes a playful jab at both Ralf and Cora's ads.
The ad features a picture of Ralf labeled "Darling" on a smartphone display, a nod to Cora's Sixt ad where she casually ignores a question about car sale value and instead highlights the affordability of the rental BMW, directly parodying Ralf’s original spot.
Cora's Sixt ad, which has caused a stir online due to her involvement, is a clever mix of personal jab and marketing strategy, keeping her in the public eye. The ad war between Cora and Ralf's partners, Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne and Sixt, continues on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
Meanwhile, Cora's humorous Sixt ads primarily appear on television and digital platforms associated with the brand, while the media buzz and personal exchanges play out prominently on social media channels. There is also evidence of related content featuring both Schumachers on TikTok.
The tension extends beyond ads into social media interactions involving their personal lives, with Cora indirectly critiquing Ralf and Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne, especially around topics linked to Ralf’s coming out as gay in 2024. Cora has expressed feelings of betrayal and being publicly provoked, contributing to what media describe as an ongoing "schlammschlacht" (mud fight) between the ex-couple and partners.
This combination of commercial competition and personal drama plays out publicly as an ongoing "ad war" intertwined with their social media presence. The ad war shows no signs of slowing down, as each party continues to release humorous and provocative promotional videos, keeping the public engaged and entertained.
