Michael Schumacher: Seven-time F1 champion's family plan legal action after AI-generated 'interview'

Michael Schumacher's family are planning legal action against a magazine which published an artificial intelligence-generated 'interview' with the former Formula 1 racer.

www.bbc.co.uk

I hope the magazine have deep pockets.

I hope the magazine have deep pockets.

Pretty tasteless to not consider contacting the family prior to publication.

 

[Crow555]

Probably the German equivalent of Take a ***** or Heat or something. I hope they get cleaned out; that's a horrible piece of "journalism".

 

[svensktoppen]

It's a literally made up interview. Makes no difference if they made it up themselves, or used an "AI" tool to make it up...

Pretty tasteless...

Will need to be on stilts with the compressions on track

 

[svensktoppen]

A modern F1 probably would barely fit round the carousel

That sounds like fun Probably more of a demo run than any record attempt, but still fun.

 

[RoniN]

Nick Heinfeld did it in 2007 in the Williams BMW.
F1 car couldn't drop into the carousel, stayed on the top.

Cheers

 

[svensktoppen]

In fairness it might be quicker round the top, the banked inner bit is pretty rough.

F1 was so much better at 18k rpm

They looked so much better too, not the overweight inflated barges we get now.

Ferrari blown the budget over the spring break

All they changed was their rear wing lol

McLaren on the other hand...

Circles entire car

 

[svensktoppen]

Whatever Ferrari did it seems to have worked, pole for the main race. They still think the RB is way ahead on race pace though. Max seems to agree with that, he doesn't seem too bothered, lol.

I thought Merc had a major upgrade planned? Or is that for a later race still?

They got several upgrades including a new floor I believe.

No doubt the single practice session has hurt them since the Merc seems to be a nightmare to setup, on top of the new parts.

 

[cauld1]

Merc upgrade is Imola I think.

Max is hilariously lacking self awareness in his yapping again

 

[cauld1]

Just to prove my point, what a team of utter bellends

 

[Jbridges522]

Max really is insufferable tbf

 

[Burt2000]

Him and Horner, hard to like

 

[Jbridges522]

Just wish George would have the balls to come out and say Max needs to stop winging instead of a polite interview.

You can see everyone tiptoes round max in the media and the team, such a shame we haven't him and Fernando fighting it out lol

 

[cauld1]

Really nice of them to say feck all over the radio to Perez at the end of the race but congratulate Max for errr being the number one whinger on the grid.

Hoping Perez wins tomorrow and Max has a terrible one.

Yes, he's always known how to do that but chose not to and in fairness needed to with the mercs superior pace back then. Difference now is he doesn't have to, just wait for the next straight and away he goes. Russell, and the rest of grid, are now in that scenario, they have to do something risky to get by the RBs and even if they do manage it will.only.be temporary.

 

[Blackie]

Max really is a yappy wee sheeiiiitttteeee and he has a short memory! He pulled the same moves on many a driver in the past!!

He doesn’t like it now the shoe is on the other foot and drivers are doing it on him!

Poor Perez! Drive a great sprint race but not much radio conversation aired by Channel 4!

Speaking of which, are Channel 4 being sponsored by Red Bull? They forgot to hide their bias today on the commentating!

 

[big_pete]

Did anyone catch the foreign broadcast and you can hear max calling George a **** after having g words at the weigh in

He really is a knob.

yeah George seems to come to smooth things over, and Max is his usual knobish self then calls him a d'head as George is walking away.

Yup champion indeed

Tbh, it was the same when Danny Ric was his teammate too.

He clearly doesn't have the ability to have a cool head at all, and little things get to him and wind him up a lot.
