WARNING MESSAGE!
Everything you read here is false unless it can be proven to be true. We are neither for nor against. If looking through the keyhole puts you off but more often than not you give in to that urge, you're in the right place at the wrong time. Here is the life of the people in the paddock through the small end of the lens, that is to say outside of racing. It’s “they say”, gossip, not necessarily always very beautiful and no doubt also sometimes mythical or false. In any case, it's from the People of the Paddock. So from the Village People.
BE CAREFUL, certain subjects may offend the sensitivity of the youngest, or the oldest, as well as people who do not take a step back. We will have warned you.

You are still here ? So here we go, but don't come complaining afterwards!
At the beginning, we took it a little lightly, like a little stupidity of a turbulent schoolboy due to the marked character of the Australian champions. In a hurry to get to the Moto2 Warm Up, Remy Gardner and his champion father had hit a car in which there were three Japanese.
A priori, Remy gardner was driving the car without the special license required in Japan. The tone rising a little, one of the Japanese then took the keys to the Gardner's car and called the police. Things had come to blows and if Remy simply missed the warm up, he was only provisionally released to participate in the Grand Prix. He had to report to the police last Monday before finally being released a few dozen hours later. When in doubt, his team asked Anthony West to return to Australia from Jerez, which the pilot had done, ultimately for nothing, therefore, things a priori ending well for Remy Gardner.
This is not yet the case for his father who is currently still incarcerated in Japan, despite the steps taken by the Australian Consulate. The Australian world champion, who completely denies the accusations, can, according to Japanese law, be held for up to 23 days for investigation.
The Australian Foreign Minister spoke on the subject.
Julie Bishop : “Nous avons assurément fourni le soutien du consulat à Mr Gardner et son fils. Les détails de cet incident ont été communiqués, mais nous n’avons pas été en mesure de les vérifier. Mais nous continuons à fournir tout le soutien que nous pouvons à Mr Gardner alors qu’il est détenu en prison à Tokyo.”
Morally, the difference in culture between different countries can sometimes transform an incident that is benign in our eyes into an affair that takes on very unpleasant proportions.
