if no one knows what’s going on with f1 academy right now hannes janker is a driving coach who is 28/29 and has groomed emma flebermayr, audi f1 academy driver. she is a 19 year old girl who has been “dating” him since she was 17. he’s been her coach since she was 16 or possibly younger. there are public pictures on their instagram of him AT HER HIGH SCHOOL PROM. this is actually the most fucking disgusting bullshit i’ve ever seen in my life.
i cannot believe people say they want to support young girls in sports and let this go on. i’m not here to shame emma but i AM here to shame everyone else involved. INCLUDING F1 ACADEMY.
i cannot believe they let him anywhere near her and that paddock, let alone post pictures of them like it’s some cute story. hannes janker i hope you die and i hope anyone who knew about this does as well. you cannot support girls and women in sports and let this shit go on. fuck you and your sport
again i’m not saying this to shame emma or share a story that belongs to the victim to share but i can’t sit back and watch this happen without the rest of the f1 community knowing about it especially as a woman in sports who knows abuse way too well.
this is not “minorly concerning” or just “kind of weird” this is grooming
