  • Bombshell Christian Horner news took the Bahrain paddock by storm tonight when an email was sent out to hundreds of journalists and high ranking F1 staff. What did this email contain? Well, it contained allegedly leaked Christian Horner text messages and leaked Christian Horner images. Now there is no way of telling at the moment whether these Christian Horner leaks are real but here is what I know thus far! Make sure to watch the entire video to find out everything that went down today in the paddock today during Bahrain practice!

      If the evidence exists, why would it matter who sent it? If your dog escapes and it gets run over, does it matter less if the neighbor you don't like informs you? Next time Chris should just ask for photos from someone who actually wants to send them like the rest of us do (actually, some of us don't even need to ask).

      Seems like the other teams in the paddock or at least two have picked up on the Democrats way of dealing with their opposition. Rather than working hard on producing a better platform you simply dirty an innocent persons reputation. If it can happen to Christian it can happen to you Toto and you too Zak.

      Agreed, it's a witch hunt with the intention to loosen the RB domination on F1 by attempting to disrupt the team harmony ahead of the new season. Some of the other team principals (Woolf, Brown etc) are cleary upset that the opportunity of Horner being removed hasn't happened and are now trying to keep the pressure on with their virtue signalling transparency BS. The question needs to be asked of who is really behind the leaks, the motive for doing it and who it getting paid for doing it.

    This is just my two cents but I think some dislike Danica in part due to her past comments whether it be from her saying F1 is a masculine sport or how she commented against Nascar drive Martin Truexs response to his girlfriends death to name a couple of examples. Then there's the issue of her not having F1 experience and her open wheel experience resulting in only one win etc. There might be other factors I'm not sure

    I think Danika Patrick's association with NASCAR is the reason. Everyone that follows F1 seems to look down upon the USA's premier non-open wheel racing series. She went from Indycar to NASCAR.

    Valterri was wearing a Sarpaneva Midnight Sun - Sapraneva is a Finnish watch brand, fitting of Valteri to wear it, this one is limited to 20 pieces and costs 29k Euro with taxes, but the absolute party trick is the lume, it's mind boggling....Stepan Sarpaneva worked with Piaget, Parmigianii and even Vianney Halter, so he is one of the best watchmakers there are. Love the Moser Streamliner Esteban was wearing, the central second chrono is a beauty.

  • @zedlicious
    @zedlicious Před 3 měsíci +3

    Unfortunately Danica has a habit of feeling like she needs to remind us that she was a race driver with comments like “when I was racing” which is unnecessary. Schiff never does that. Also her comments and insights are not quite on par with any of the other ex racers so there is a feeling that she is here because she is an American. The amount of camera time in Netflix shows how America-centric the show is. They need to understand that America is not the centre of the F1 world. It’s the chip in the shoulder true fans have with Liberty and the glitz and glamming they are foisting upon F1. I think Danica has become a symbol in of these changes and that’s why her reception has polarised fans

    I've done a lot of investigative research into this and have located the findings from RBs investigation.
    The person that received the messages from Horner was a friend of Geris.
    Horner heard Geri singing "if you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends...."
    Horner thought he was acting on Geri's instructions. Horner is innocent. Case dismissed.
    There was also a mention that it's questionable as to whether ginger is a spice and that if Horner wanted a spicy private life, ginger was not going to satisfy the desire.

    IF the text messages are real, it shows a little flirting between two consenting adults. The person unhappy with Christian was likely someone who was trying to get rid of him, as a way of consolidating their own power.

    Kym, I really appreciate your professional approach to this. As a former photojournalist, I truly appreciate someone who doesn't jump to conclusions. The world needs a lot more journalist like you. It's so easy to get caught up in the hype of a movement, as you probably know...that it takes true professionalism to have real restraint...aka bluring the alleged screen shots of the text....and of course how you cautioned people multiple times that this may not be real text.
    We live in a world where anything can be faked to the naked eye....however it takes real critical thinking skills to and good judgement not to jump to conclusions. As a world we are way to addicted to "cancelling people" and many times it's solely for the entertainment value...which ultimately is really sad.. It's like our modern day coliseum....

    Before last season, I knew nothing about Danica. Throughout the season watching the Sky broadcast I couldn't help but begin to dislike her. She seems to have been brought in only to have a familiar face/accent for the American audience. Her knowledge of F1 was extremely base level, and I also got the impression that the other Sky presenters were not too keen on her / didn't think much of her "insights". I swear I saw a few eye rolls from Jensen or Natalie.

    I think the hate behind Danica was because she played the 'Will Buxton' role this season, basically stating the obvious for the people who just watch drive to survive and not f1 during the season.

    • @seashackf1
      @seashackf1 Před 3 měsíci +4

      The hate has been around long before DTS. It may be just the latest thing people hate her for. In case you’re new to this, the hate comes her driving days. She was never a top driver, but she was treated as one by the media and some fans. She got far more attention than any driver with similar results and many drivers with better results because of her gender. It’s also probably a part of why she got this job and that rubs some people the wrong way. FYI, I don’t hate her or make negative comments about her so don’t call me a hater, I’m just giving the background here.

    • @ccrider8483
      @ccrider8483 Před 3 měsíci +1

      ​@@seashackf1 Agree with everything you say. I always felt she traded a bit much on her looks to be taken seriously. Doing a press conference in short shorts with formfiting top while cute and sexy is not going to give her cred as a driver. To me it would be somewhat like one of the young F1 guys doing a press conference without a shirt.

    I have no idea who selects the F1 commentators, but Danica Patrick's inclusion can be understood only from a marketing point of view and not from a journalistic one. This is not intended as an indictment of Danica, but she has no credentials, journalistic or otherwise, to be providing F1 commentary. Her racing resume includes a handful of pole positions and the 2008 Indy Japan 300 victory. As a NASCAR driver she ranked below mid-field. Nothing to shout about.
    If Liberty Media wants her in amongst the F1 press, it can (realistically) only be because she's a woman, and because she's American - an expression of the aggressive marketing and growth aspirations Liberty has for F1.

  • @themoviescriptwriter2513
    @themoviescriptwriter2513 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Part of the reason is that Danica acts like those girls/ladies, who say they're not like the other girls and kind of side with the boys. It doesn't always look good. I remember in an interview she was explaining about Formula Academy and she didn't come off with a lot of sympathy, kind of bullish that they should - to sum it up - work harder to get to things like Formula 1. Mostly her delivery with her point was off.

    As a longtime NASCAR fan and former Danica fan, she has made extremely hurtful comments on Martin Truex Jr's ex passing and his condolences/statement he made about it, and that's where a lot of the current dislike of her came. She made the comment "You’re free from this now Sherry" which is just cold and terrible to say after Sherry (Martin's ex) fought for years with cancer. Then those comments she made about girls/women not making into F1 didn't help her any.
    I think she was just really not a good fit for the show.
