The coverage
Unconfirmed- How firm is this
- The wording hedges - this is a claim, not a confirmed move. Treat it as unconfirmed until a team or the FIA says otherwise.
- 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.
Who’s who
- Mattia Binotto is the chief operating and technical officer at Audi.
