Ayse, to be fair, I don't think he passes it off as fact, just what he hears. You're right, it's just us getting excited. There is John the reporter and John the fan. His reporting is very professional IMO. I'm glad he shares "the dirt". How many rumours do we all hear from folks in the paddock that don't happen? Probably half of what we hear is garbage but I would rather hear them and know what's possible than just wait for boring press releases once everything is official, just me.
We'd sure have a lot less to talk about here.
