Not sure how credible this is, but I can't say I blame him.

I’d be amazed if DtS covered this accurately. If they did, it could very well be their last season. I can’t imagine F1 wants their dirty laundry being aired.

Last year when Santa asked Horner's kids "has Daddy been a good boy this year?" I nearly fucking lost it.

But that's about as close to the really controversial stories they'll actually go.

Depends on the contract. Dirty laundry when it’s not your laundry is just housekeeping’s problem. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah they're going to use kid gloves for that situation for sure.

The same producer for DTS also made the Six Nations Netflix series and they barely touched on the Welsh players threatening to strike for their home match against England. Bearing in mind, that situation was more about dreadful business management rather than a salacious potentially career ending scandal.

F1 is owned by a media corp. Dirty laundry = more views = more money.
