End-of-day report. Marshals’ post 14. Monday.
Subject: an interview with Christian Horner in Autosport, read on Formule1.nl, from the camping chair, thermos open.
Observation. The former Red Bull boss teased Günther Steiner, who ran Haas from 2014 to 2023. In his view, Steiner’s fame comes mostly from the series Drive to Survive. In his view again, Steiner has never taken a podium in Formula 1. Haas finished fifth in the constructors’ championship in 2018. That is its best result. I note both. I don’t judge.
Quote taken down, translated. “These people make a television programme; they gather hours and hours of footage, and it all depends on how you cut it together.” Then: “You can portray someone as a villain or as a hero.”
Action taken at the post. I did the count. Thirty years at 14. Hours and hours of footage, indeed. Television sees the post. In the edit, they keep the car and cut the flag. Neither the villain’s role nor the hero’s. Cut. The double yellow does not make the broadcast. It is respected all the same.
Horner also grants Steiner a strong personality, which brought a new audience to Formula 1. The new audience has not seen me yet. It knows the heated room from the series. It takes twenty minutes, but with music.
Fabienne Racing makes hours and hours of gazebo footage available to any platform. Edit at will.
Jean-Luc, my reserve, asks whether he will be in the episode. I told him the edit decides. Post 14, received. Nothing further to report.
It’s true, we checked: Formule1.nl.
