The rumours, which started in Italy after the Spanish Grand Prix, spoke of personnel changes wanted by Lewis Hamilton, of a strained relationship with team principal Fred Vasseur, and of frustration with strategy calls and the way they were carried out during races. They never said who was meant. The Instagram post is clearer: “I have never asked for anyone within my team to be replaced. Everyone I work with works hard every day, and their dedication is what moves us forward.”
In Philippeville, the news was dealt with the same day.
PRESS RELEASE. Fabienne Racing notes the statement published by a seven-time Formula 1 world champion regarding rumours of personnel changes within his team. The outfit confirms it read the statement twice, the second time out loud, and draws the following conclusion: no seat is opening up.
At Fabienne Racing, we have a project, and a project lives off seats opening up. Here we are being told that nobody is leaving and that everyone works hard every day. That is very nice, and it is very awkward for our planning. There is also talk of growth and development: for us, growth is a second set of tyres under the gazebo.
The outfit points out that it had submitted no application in this matter, the rumours never having specified which post was targeted, which makes sending a file difficult.
We maximised our package: one envelope, one lap time, two photographs of Mariembourg, the kart track. The team remains open to discussions, preferably on a Monday, the day our title partner is closed.
Fabienne Racing also welcomes the method: a written denial, dated, signed, and published on the same network as its own press releases. About Fabienne Racing: one driver, one kart, one Dacia, one project.
It’s true, we checked: RacingNews365.
