The coverage

Reported
How firm is this
Written as settled fact rather than as a claim, though only one outlet is carrying it.
How far to trust it
Sky Sports is a first-tier outlet - the tier that generally does its own reporting. We rate every outlet we track on how often it reports a story first and how often it holds up.
Who else has it
Sky Sports 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

  • Helmut Marko is the motorsport advisor at Red Bull.
