I will be honest firstly, I only pay attention to what is reported on this board, and what BBC and SKY hear/report. But the past year, I have concluded that Benson and Jordan have the best sources over the SKY bunch.
Take Kimi and Ferrari, EJ was saying the deal was done. Brundle was on SKY the same day, saying that Kimi was just waiting for Lotus to finish writing up his new contract. A few days later Kimi and Ferrari was made public.
It was the same last year, EJ was saying that Lewis was going to Merc, whilst Brundle was convinced he was staying at McLaren. We all know how that turned out. Even little things, like Pastor leaving Williams and the Hulk going back to F.I (that last one is still pending btw) get mentioned by EJ, but SKY's team never break anything like that.
Its not just E.J, Benson seems to get stuff thrown his way as well. Alonso/McLaren rumors may not have amounted to anything yet, but they were right in signalling that Perez was on his way out. Benson gave the game away that E.J has some sources in R.B meetings, as that is how E,J knew Riccardo was R.B new driver, whilst SKY were still saying Kimi had a chance of that seat.
SKY seem to mention rumors that amount to nothing as well, JEV going to Lotus was one that never amounted to anything.
So who do you tend to listen to regarding rumors and speculation?
