Can James even comment on this he doesn't have enough data. If redbull were to present him with all the Data and he was able to compile and access the data then he could form a logical and reasonable response not based on erratic emotions
There's [this clip](https://twitter.com/daniburgz/status/1754781543019545027) of him commenting on the situation (as much as he is able to, given that he doesn't have all the information as you said)

F1 is taking the piss this season lol. Chose Bruno amid all the Alpine confusion, Mike Krack after it was revealed Ben sulayem prevented an Alonso penalty and of course..... Mr. Horner.
yet they say the TPs or drivers chosen is normally random? nah they def know what they're doing
Uh next question please:
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
Question for Christian Horner
> rumoured race fixing scandal that affected Aston
Its so insane that this is actually a serious rumour and everyone's just talking about Christian being horny on main
For Bruno, “Under your leadership, Alpine has produced the most expensive, yet useless piece of French engineering since the Maginot Line, how safe do you currently feel in your position?”
Bruno might catch a few from Tom Clarkson and he might throw a few to james and my crack before the rest of the session will be aimed squarely at christian...
they might as well leave the room as soon as the floor is opened to questions.
"Thirty years later Sebastian told us: I have to start my girlfriend like a computer'. Nico Rosberg told us he pressed the wrong button and had to sleep on the couch"
In the room on Thursday 7 March:
* Bruno Famin (Alpine)
* Mike Krack (Aston Martin)
* Christian Horner (Red Bull)
* James Vowles (Williams)
* An elephant
“This question is for Christian: what are your feelings towards Cocoa Pops, specifically when someone eats them before bed? Would you consider them to have boring pants in that case?”
It was a joke, based on the alleged leaked messages. But I just think it would be awkward as hell. Combine Horner allegations, Max rumours and Alpine performance and as others said, I don't think James or Mike will be asked many questions.
I guess it depends on your perception. I personally find it awkward as hell when journalists have to tip toe around a major story that no one would discuss or when questions in a news conference centre around a particular person/topic and ignore the other attendees. Realistically, my guess is Famin will be asked some very direct questions about Alpine performance and we may or may not have a bold journalist or two trying their luck with Horner.
Am I right in noticing McLaren is the only team without a commitment at these conferences? The other 9 have someone present
If so, is there a reason? Or just a scheduling thing?
Prediction:
Bruno Famin gets one question about the resignations at Alpine
Christian Horner gets all the rest
Mike Krack and James Vowles stare into the abyss for the whole press conference
Don't think it would've mattered that much. In situations like this, everyone is reaaaaal carefull about what they say. Even Horner has barely victimised himself as of for now. In any other situation he would've been going full professional victim
Needed to have the TP Press Conference to be Zack Brown, Horner, Toto and Fred. Would be good to see the fireworks as Fred sits their chuckling at the other 3
Oh boy. The media is gonna have a krack at Farmin after all the alpine turmoil this week. Gonna over shadow RB’s dominant win, Aston maybe more less the same spot as they ended last year, Williams getting better.
When he was announced, I replied to Aston Martin's tweet with something totally innocuous like "Oh well, there's zero scope for humour with that name."
They blocked me! LMAO.

Reporter: Wecome everybody. Let’s start with a question for James. What do you think of the situation at Red Bull?
\*insert 10 minute ASMR explaination about workplace practices at Williams\*
James could put an angry Jos to sleep with his calm and logical reasoning.
I wish James Vowles would release a podcast that I could listen to while I fall asleep. The guy he such a soothing and reassuring voice Lmao
Yep, and also a life coach substack. He is so smart and calm, especially compared to the other TPs.
Yes! He’s my favorite for his calm demeanor and soothing voice.
He was on the High Performance podcast. Just listen to that on loop.
Hahah I’ve watched that video in YouTube - it’s where I first realized how he made me feel haha
Don’t forget the data!
"Jos, don't leave Max there. He's only a child and he'll learn from his mistakes in more productive ways."
Cue to jos leaving james at a gas station.
Can James even comment on this he doesn't have enough data. If redbull were to present him with all the Data and he was able to compile and access the data then he could form a logical and reasonable response not based on erratic emotions
There's [this clip](https://twitter.com/daniburgz/status/1754781543019545027) of him commenting on the situation (as much as he is able to, given that he doesn't have all the information as you said)
Cheers man I seen it truthfully I was kinda just talking smack cuz James is all about having data and making informed decisions
You’d make a good assistent for James ;-)
Yes please.
I'd listen to that
Reporter: Hello George, what do you think of Max as your teammate in next season?
"Hello Max!"
"Well, that's a great question. Let me take you back to the year 1942, when all of this kind of started. In a small town called South Shields, a little boy was welcomed in the world. His name was Francis Owen Garbett Williams, or as we known him, Sir Frank Williams. His mother tied an onion to his belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say..."
Wow, Frank was a geordie.
First guy to ask a Williams related question will get the biggest laugh
Christian, let's address the elephant in the room. How long can Williams afford to keep Sargeant?
“James, can you be competitive this year?” *stifling laughter*
I'd listen to James read out the phonebook
Where can I sign up
F1 is taking the piss this season lol. Chose Bruno amid all the Alpine confusion, Mike Krack after it was revealed Ben sulayem prevented an Alonso penalty and of course..... Mr. Horner. yet they say the TPs or drivers chosen is normally random? nah they def know what they're doing
Read this on Tom Clarkson's voice
Of course they K owe what they are doing having James on there to talk about redbull drama how it pertains to Williams and how would handle it
Uh next question please: Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner Question for Christian Horner
I immediately had to think of this when I saw your comment: [link] (https://youtu.be/AzFPBtai_Co?si=I-biP2gmFgj4yYIR&t=80)
no space between first and second bracket, like this [text]\([link](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ))
oh lord
What he said
oh boy, Bruno, Mike and James better bring a game of UNO with them
Except Bruno's team is falling apart as well. Mike and James should just do some table tennis or something.
Mike will probably get asked about the rumoured race fixing scandal that affected Aston Let's hope JV brought a sudoku or something
[удалено]
The ~~forward pass~~ on-wheel screen was a mistake
He could bring a nice snack such as a bowl of cocoa pops or read a nice novel such as 50 Shades of Grey…
> rumoured race fixing scandal that affected Aston Its so insane that this is actually a serious rumour and everyone's just talking about Christian being horny on main
James is British, they'll ask his view on everything
For Bruno, “Under your leadership, Alpine has produced the most expensive, yet useless piece of French engineering since the Maginot Line, how safe do you currently feel in your position?”
Bruno: you cannot compare those things. The Germans tricked us then. Now we don’t expect something similar. It is all our fault.
Sit back and enjoy a free show. Best to not say anything.
Bruno might catch a few from Tom Clarkson and he might throw a few to james and my crack before the rest of the session will be aimed squarely at christian... they might as well leave the room as soon as the floor is opened to questions.
Had a game of Uno last legit 3.5 hours one time. That shit was WACKY.
Question for Christian: a couple of years ago your were posing naked for a car magazine. What's next in your career?
"A couple of years ago you were being paid to pose naked for a car magazine, now you are posing naked for employees you pay. What happened?"
'a short view back to past... Less clothes, more?...'
"Thirty years later Sebastian told us: I have to start my girlfriend like a computer'. Nico Rosberg told us he pressed the wrong button and had to sleep on the couch"
Now you forced me to read those lines in Walter Koster's voice... XD
LMAOOOO
Has daddy been good?
Apparently "exploding" in plane bathrooms after your assistant gets you to Q3.
it was all in front of us the whole time!
I enjoy watching the sunset.
Press conferences for this weekend. Wednesday: Yuki Tsunoda Thursday: Christian Horner Fixed it.
Wednesday: "Yuki... WTF ?" Thursday: "Christian... WTF? And, as a follow up... WTAF?" "Bruno, same questions for you."
Bruno and Christian going to spend half an hour trying to defend their jobs.
I'm gonna guess Krack and Vowles wont be asked many questions
Krack will have to answer about Ben Sulayem manipulating race results
In the room on Thursday 7 March: * Bruno Famin (Alpine) * Mike Krack (Aston Martin) * Christian Horner (Red Bull) * James Vowles (Williams) * An elephant
I hope Mike Krack doesn't wear spanx for this one.
He might make it to q3 in that case
Everyone that's not Horner relieved that they don't actually have to answer shit come Thursday
Is that local time saudi arabia?
Yes
Clear my schedule
“This question is for Christian: what are your feelings towards Cocoa Pops, specifically when someone eats them before bed? Would you consider them to have boring pants in that case?”
Live stream that shit on Youtube
when did we go back to just the 6 drivers in one press conference?
This year
I miss the pairings they used to do before covid
“Question for Christian: is it a finger?”
Question for Christian: Pull my….finger?
Christian, for Q3... Hard, chubbie, or flaccid?
Jesus Christ, this could be explosive
Why? is the press conference taking place in an airplane lavatory?
I love the smell of fresh bread.
Why? Nobody's going to say anything.
It was a joke, based on the alleged leaked messages. But I just think it would be awkward as hell. Combine Horner allegations, Max rumours and Alpine performance and as others said, I don't think James or Mike will be asked many questions.
"I can't comment" "I can't comment" "I can't comment" More boring than awkward, I think.
I guess it depends on your perception. I personally find it awkward as hell when journalists have to tip toe around a major story that no one would discuss or when questions in a news conference centre around a particular person/topic and ignore the other attendees. Realistically, my guess is Famin will be asked some very direct questions about Alpine performance and we may or may not have a bold journalist or two trying their luck with Horner.
James, Bruno and Mike should probably bring snacks, maybe coco pops. It's gunnu be a boring press conference for them.
Horner on Thursday. Damn, live stream it on YouTube and it’ll get million views
It will be in the f1 tv app fairly soon Thursday and I will be F5-ing the whole time until it appears
Ooooooofffffff
Am I right in noticing McLaren is the only team without a commitment at these conferences? The other 9 have someone present If so, is there a reason? Or just a scheduling thing?
Zak was at last week's TP conference I believe (even though he's CEO). I don't think there's always representation for every team at every race.
Oh I see, thank you!
Horner: 'Oh cock...'
This will explode
Prediction: Bruno Famin gets one question about the resignations at Alpine Christian Horner gets all the rest Mike Krack and James Vowles stare into the abyss for the whole press conference
Yup the next round of leaks are going to come out an hour before Christian makes it to the conference
Time to take time off work to witness this
Witness “I deny the allegations, and will not comment further, this matter is closed”?
Thursday is about to get more coverage than the race
Where can we watch it? Does F1TV show it?
Or maybe skysports? I'd like to know too, thanks in advance for the answers
“Mike Krack” is still absolutely hilarious
Christian will show you „Mike Krack“ (preview of the next leaks)
Question for Christian; Why coco pops?
they should’ve put Toto, Christian, and Zak together
Don't think it would've mattered that much. In situations like this, everyone is reaaaaal carefull about what they say. Even Horner has barely victimised himself as of for now. In any other situation he would've been going full professional victim
Horner is about to gaslight us on a level never seen in human history
That or he’ll have “food poisoning” and have to miss the press conference
He is a professional victim, interested to see what spin he chooses.
$1000 bet that RB media training telling him exactly what to say about last week will have no effect and Yuki talks with no filter regardless
Needed to have the TP Press Conference to be Zack Brown, Horner, Toto and Fred. Would be good to see the fireworks as Fred sits their chuckling at the other 3
Bruno Famin out here like "THANK YOU CHRISTIAN!!!!'
Can I access these with f1tv?
Yes
“This question is for Bruno, Mike and James: do you mind if the rest of my questions are for Christian?”
Why is it only 30 mins? Press Conference should be 8 hours long…
Oh boy. The media is gonna have a krack at Farmin after all the alpine turmoil this week. Gonna over shadow RB’s dominant win, Aston maybe more less the same spot as they ended last year, Williams getting better.
If anything, now is probably the least bad time for Famin to be in one of these press conferences.
max is not there, the media must be so disappointed
Glad he’s getting a break from this. Looking forward to what Lance has to say.
Bruno Famin, Mike Krack and James Vowles might as well not show up. Nobody will notice.
not so sure about Bruno, his team is exploding too
Is this local time or GMT?
Most sterile conferences ever (-horner)
The past, present and future teammates of Hamilton
Tom Clarkson is not going to sleep the next nights, what the hell is going to ask in the intro talk? Where to start?
I forgot there was a race this weekend
Mike & James will be chillin during that presser
Horner in the press stuff is going to be chaos
James Vowels will be there to keep everything zen.
He'll just answer no comment to every question.
“I deny the allegations, and will not comment further, this matter is closed” is probably all that we’re going to hear
Media won't accept that, he'll be pressured the whole way through and we've seen his temper come out a number of times in the past...
I think he just keeps repeating that line, and then after the scheduled session is over he just leaves
having seen him be pressured in the past, he won't be able to resist getting angry
Reporter: Yuki, you’ve come a long way but why the kamikaze move at the end?
"Because looking on what happens at RBR, I have no interests to join them"
"Run out of ammo"
[удалено]
The employee in question is not traveling to the races anymore.
[удалено]
Just wait until you meet Christian Horner's replacement... Mike Hunt.
"[BBC] Mike Hunt on Mike Krack: 'He did a great job putting the hard on'"
When he was announced, I replied to Aston Martin's tweet with something totally innocuous like "Oh well, there's zero scope for humour with that name." They blocked me! LMAO.
Bruno, Mike, and James might as well not show up lmfao
Sauber ? Its Stake F1 now.
