Mat Coch

@findyourownUN A journalist would have a very short career making shit up and passing it as fact.

@matcoch That’s all these idiots on Twitter do. Lean on “sources” then make up shit. That’s why I typically block them. They are a waste of brain space.

Lots of rumours about Oscar Piastri leaving McLaren. I spoke to the team and several well placed sources yesterday, multiple times, and it all seems to be hot air. Might something happen in future? Sure. But right now it seems much ado about nothing. #F1

@lwkyaubrey @1ellisd147341 #AussieBias 🤣

@1ellisd147341 @matcoch yep because being an aussie explains that! /s

@forest_jay Who's to say he's talking about the same thing. There's always something going on in F1.

@matcoch Best let Thomas know

This is about establishing a precedent so there is a clear legal framework. It’s about defining what 'sporting fairness' actually means in a legal sense. Alpine, Gasly, and Monaco are just the pawns in a much bigger game. My full article is on PlanetF1.com #F1 4/4

The International Sporting Code relies on an overarching principle of "sporting fairness." Is it fair Alpine could appeal when others couldn't? Is it fair to strip Gasly's corrected position? This is exactly why McLaren & Red Bull HAVE to take this to the ISC. #F1 3/4

The Monaco pit lane penalty saga is a mess. The failure lies entirely with FOM and the measurement of the first pit lane loop. Everything else is just a consequence—one that has highlighted a massive paradox in the regulations. Let me explain... #F1 1/4

BYD's Stella Li has been in the Monaco F1 paddock meeting with Stefano Domenicali and Mohammed Ben Sulayem. It comes amid increasing interest in F1 from the Chinese manufacturer. Li has spoken exclusively with PlanetF1. Full story here: planetf1.com/news/byd-f1-fi… #F1

By commenting on it they give it credibility; if they say nothing it implies it's correct, even if it's not. The media's job is find stories, validate the info, and report facts, not pedal (or refute) speculation. PlanetF1 is in the paddock; we are held to account. #F1 3/3

In the rush to be first, fact checking gets forgotten or ignored, and rumour mistaken for factual reporting. In doing so misinformation spreads wildly, and that creates issues. Now, teams are constantly having to address speculation. That's an issue. #F1 2/3

Rumours surrounding Esteban Ocon and Valtteri Bottas highlight the disparity between real journalism and social media reporting. The world has changed in the last decade and there is a growing push to be first to publish on social media, but with that comes danger. #F1 1/3

@mcdonaldsindia Just saw something about you guys making a “perfect AI burger” LOL Is that actually real or just a concept for now?😆 Would 100% try it if it’s real. Where can I order one?

Loved, everywhere on earth 🍟🌍

@SenRonJohnson Why would they?😂

This is the biggest government scandal of my lifetime, and the legacy media refuses to cover it. The FDA knew that COVID injections were causing severe adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell’s palsy. Americans had the Right to Know, and those affected deserve justice.

@sfdepression This is why we love the sport!

ollie crazy swerve to avoid hitting a squirrel too omg????

@RightEdgeNRL 👀👀

Don't go in blind again this round.

@jameypricephoto @alexige @adrian_omerovic @vincenzolandino FIA won't especially care as N24 is ultimately FIA sanctioned, more uncomfortable for FOM. Outside of the presser, Thursday sessions are run by the teams and usually produce better content. Not being in the FIA session or arguably preferable for us.

@alexige @adrian_omerovic @vincenzolandino But not on their time. What are we missing?

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised the FIA hasn’t chosen MV3 to be in the press conference this week 😂

Liberty/FOM has done much to secure its financial position. Long term hosting contracts and broadcast agreements provide a strong foundation. Financially, F1 looks strong for the next 5 years, the PGI interest is further evidence of that. #F1 3/3

It shows that, at institutional level, there remains confidence in F1 despite its on track issues. At PGI, Kamal Bhatia run principal asset management and has hundreds of billions in assets under management. There are significant industry figures involved, too. #F1 2/3

Filings with the SEC show Principal Global Investors now holds ~3.8% of Liberty Media, specifically the F1 tracking stock. It's a passive holding, there's no influence associated with it, but it's and interesting development. #F1 1/3
