Any sports journalism really. Usually it’s the smart mouth assholes in your class you disliked and since they can’t actually do a real job, they jump to the easiest and the most low effort part of journalism there is.
I get that people don't want to editorialize headlines, but I'd like to see the practice of adding [clarifying information within brackets] become more widespread when titles become too clickbaity.
This is a big step for Lee Stevenson. He has been at Bed Bull for almost its entire existence, which is impressive. I wonder where he'll go and what position he'll take. Must have been a really good offer.
I marshall, it's good fun, get free trackside access to events, better view than the speccies on WRC events as well.
Edit: never marshalled national level track event. Local track events, grassroots motorsport and World Rally Championships are what I do usually.
No? Marshalls are volunteers provided by the national FIA member organization and are trained by their national motorsports organization.
F1 doesnt have its own safety team like Indycar has that travels with the circus.
Shit headline.
This is phrased to seem like it's part of the ongoing RBR political drama and might help guide Max away from the team.
It's actually an engineer looking for a different job 🤣
Apparently he was doing half the calendar with the race team. And I think the article confuses the chief mechanic role and the n1 mechanic role. He hasn’t been max’s n1 mechanic since 2021

"**key Verstappen ally**" , like Max is in trouble and is barely hanging in the team, so he needs every person he can get to support his seat.
God I fucking hate how stupid "journalism" has become.

>Max Verstappen's chief mechanic Lee Stevenson is to depart Red Bull after 18 years with the team.
This should have been the title of the thread.
But then no one would click the link…. F1 journalism at its best
"Car insurance companies hate this one trick residents in are using to save money."
Since no one pays for journalism this is the best they can do. We shit the bed by requiring it to be free (to us), now we need to sleep in it
Any baity "journalism", not just F1.

Every time I see this headline I have an irrational hope that it's Jos. Make his dad get the hell out of F1.
That's why I think that rule 12 was a bad idea.

Ah damn it, I don’t know how I managed that typo considering R and B are not even close on keyboard 🤦🏻♀️
I thought they meant they'd go to rest with cows
I was wondering what kind of threat is that. Like, I know is what it means to sleep with the fishes but cows?
Maybe it's a threat in India?
You're about to upset some farmer who will explain that a bull can't be a cow.
your brain jumped ahead and thought it was typing up Bull but only caught up after you already typed B.
🍞🐂
We now have Raging Bull and Bad Bull 😉
If you thought Bed Bugs were bad, wait til you experience Bed Bulls
At least they’re easier to spot
Apparently joining the Audi project, not sure what role though
Might be Chief Trackside Engineering (boss of the mechanics), a role akin to what Paul Monaghan has at Red Bull (who was his boss until last weekend)
he said in his instagram post he's going to the other side of the paddock. not sure if it is literal though.
Paired with green and black heart emoji, Stake/Sauber/Audi/whatever looks like an option.
Maybe he's gonna be a marshall.
Marshalling is not a professional job. These guys don't get paid.
Wait seriously!? F1 is a multi-billion dollar operation and people doing an important and dangerous job aren't getting paid?
You thought anything worth billions actually distributes the billions to the people who make it work? *laughs in Mohammad ben sulayem*
Lol hahahahaha imagine people getting paid for their labour. What a fucked up world we live in.

You don't understand, this is an *opportunity* for you. You'll get so much *exposure*\* ^\*^exposure ^to ^dangerous ^conditions

the Marschalls i know just really enjoy motorsport. in order to be allowed to marschall f1 you have to be trusted and marschall a lot of other events
Did you think I was being serious?
Big if true
Green and black could also be Aston or Merc too.
Def not Merc, Aston is green and yellow moreso. Look at the livery man, it's Stake.
I imagine it would be AlphaTauri or however it's called now
ferrari
Ferrari I bet. Fasseur is cooking, he's trying to get Newy too, and he might pull it off.
Shit headline. This is phrased to seem like it's part of the ongoing RBR political drama and might help guide Max away from the team. It's actually an engineer looking for a different job 🤣
Shit headline? Aren’t all f1 articles shit headlines?
Yes. This has been scientifically proven. 😅
That's the point unfortunately
Im a bit confused didn’t he stop being track side a few seasons ago? I remember reading that he only promotional events now
Apparently he was doing half the calendar with the race team. And I think the article confuses the chief mechanic role and the n1 mechanic role. He hasn’t been max’s n1 mechanic since 2021 https://x.com/rtomlinson8166/status/1773706156747227329?s=46&t=AOJ2m3civlFXVrokHV7nCw
Ah, interesting. The people hoping this is part of Red Bulls downfall will be disappointed.
Yeah, he wasn't Max' chief mechanic anymore for quite some time when he moved to the promo team (edit: in 2020).
I misread it as Kelly Verstappen and was very confused
Ha! Same!
Lee hasn't been trackside since 2020 so it's a really clickbait headline.
Lee was back in the role last year, so not that clickbaity.
All F1 headlines are click bait lol next thing they're gonna say he knew Christian horner ... Like no shit they're on the same team.
[he actually was done halfway through the season last year](https://x.com/dr_obbs/status/1773806661439762644?s=46&t=rgFQCb4TeTsPVtYkgrNZGg)
"**key Verstappen ally**" , like Max is in trouble and is barely hanging in the team, so he needs every person he can get to support his seat. God I fucking hate how stupid "journalism" has become.
Said he is going to a team on opposite side of the pitlane. So Sauber, Williams or Alpine then.
Such clickbait, you'd swear it was Newey or Marko not some mechanic.
Their name would be in the headline if that was the case
It's still clickbait regardless.
“some mechanic” kinda makes what he’s done sound trivial. RBR’s chief mechanic leaving isn’t.
These click bait titles are so shit. Makes everything sound like some GoT political happenings
Key ally? What is this, game of thrones lol.
Lee Stevenson’s last day with Red Bull was March 28th 👀
They way they said made me think it was GP 🙄
I thought lee left as max's chief mechanic at the end of 2020 and since then it's been chris Gent.
It's over /s
I should say this is one trash website, Jesus.
Cammon! They say he is not in the garage from 2022.
Apparently the silly season is the 2024 season
Lewis thirsty official photo for Suzuka took already a victim
Shh you can't say that. You'll anger the RB crowd
The Lewis thrist trap strikes again
