When you follow the sport long enough, you figure the patterns.
See, I've come to the opposite conclusion. The more experienced I become in following F1, the more I've realized how flimsy so much of the reporting is around it, and that we should never put too much stock in the rumors that float about. Truth is - we simply dont know, and there's not a whole lot more that can be said about it without diving into a simple willingness to believe rather than any substantive arguments you can make for it.
Like, you say there were 'too many details', but anybody with a little effort and creativity can draw up details to make a story seem more plausible. It's really not that difficult.
I agree Newey leaving Red Bull is good for all the other big teams though, no doubt. So long as he doesn't go to like Mercedes or Mclaren or something. lol
As for the Rasputin thing, not sure if it's really that much of an insult, just that you spend a lot of time here trying to authoritatively shape the narrative around Ferrari to make everything sound like it's going fine. You're obviously entitled to your opinion, but it comes across a little too blindly optimistic at times for me. Honestly, it was a throwaway comment, and the comparison doesn't really fit that well on second thought. My bad.
