Photoshop? Isn't this the type of stuff an AI can spit out in 3 minutes?
Photoshop has an AI tool now, so at least we can still keep calling them “photoshops”.
Yes there are a lot of web apps that generate whatsapp conversation, so fairly easy to do
It looks like it could be photoshop, or even maybe a catfish? Nothing can be said for certain, and I’m sure every F1 journalist is pouring over it trying to validate the existance
And where is the “he should lose his job” evidence?
Weird: file 6 is JPG screenshot. Other screenshots are PNG. Phone changed in between? Or faked?
Good spot but it looks like the jpg is a camera photo whereas the pngs are screenshots, so maybe the phone just uses different formats for each. (Although I'd expect the opposite normally)
Nah. I have now seen the full images. It is definitely a different phone with a different OS. She probably has two phones, one private, one company. Not unusual.
File-6 is a screenshot and it’s jpg
Guess things are about to get started in the court of public opinion
I rule this easily-faked collection of whatsapp screenshots from an anonymous source admissible as evidence on the grounds that if you were going to fake it, you'd probably make them spicier than that.
Oof
Like for real, I have no idea who has the right position in the relevant actions themselves.
But it's obvious that outside of those allegations, there is a power struggle going on within this company.

Source of the leak identified
Don't think the pics are fake at least, he's worn that same polo before
This stuff never goes away. Funny thing is that obviously RBR thinks it does.
Unfortunately for potential victims this type of evidence is becoming less and less meaningful as generation becomes trivial.
Going from the rumours, RBR doesnt think that. RB's majority owners (the ones with the guy who killed someone and didnt face the consequences) do.
Yeah, I think their complete lack of transparency is back firing. Do we even know what the accusations are?
The point was that we shouldn't, because the public has a tendency to jump to conclusions and condemn people without even seeing the evidence
It doesn’t matter because the Thai owners of Red Bull do not care about this whole controversy so as long as Horner stays on their good side he’s good
And lawsuit in 3...2...1...?
Link already deleted or is it just me?
I thought X is all about free speech and stuff?
