The coverage
- How far to trust it
- PlanetF1 is a lower-tier outlet - quick to publish, and the tier most likely to overstate a claim. We rate every outlet we track on how often it reports a story first and how often it holds up.
- Who else has it
- PlanetF1 is the only outlet we track carrying this. Nobody else has picked it up yet, so there is nothing to corroborate it against.
