How @F1 rumours spread. A thread.

1. @Blickch& #39;s @roger_benoit reports Gasly may be talking to Renault for 2021 at the bottom of an article - https://www.blick.ch/sport/formel1/transfer-chaos-wird-immer-groesser-bricht-red-bull-ein-fremder-pilot-im-cockpit-id16142800.html">https://www.blick.ch/sport/for...

2. @GPFansGlobal picks this up, spinning it into their own article. They do mention @Blickch, but don& #39;t link back to Blick: https://www.gpfans.com/nl/artikelen/58092/gasly-onderhandelt-met-renault-over-zitje-van-ocon-in-2022/">https://www.gpfans.com/nl/artike...

3. A site called & #39;alkhaleejtoday& #39; then picks up the @GPFansGlobal article, republishing the content: https://alkhaleejtoday.co/sport/5096996/%E2%80%98Gasly-negotiates-with-Renault-about-Ocon%E2%80%99s-seat-in-2022%E2%80%99.html">https://alkhaleejtoday.co/sport/509...

4. A redditor over on @reddit& #39;s @F1Subreddit has picked up the Gasly news, but instead of linking to the original version, they& #39;ve linked to the regurgitated version: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/jc817m/gasly_negotiates_with_renault_about_ocons_seat_in/

The">https://www.reddit.com/r/formula... regurgitated article, not the original, is now the 2nd most popular on r/Formula1...

The point being is, because of the amount of & #39;upvotes& #39; the @reddit @F1Subreddit submission has had, I suspect the regurgitated version has had many, many more clicks than what it actually deserves...

If you& #39;re going to post stuff on there, trace back the original source first.
