Not sure if it is Blacks favourite site or not, but in the interests of impartiality ......
Just to clarify for anyone who might read this, Planet F1 is
not a journalistic website it is just a "news aggregator" and as such simply recycles articles from real news outlets then allows its own "subscribers" to post a shitfest / bunfight underneath. The site is purely advertisement driven and makes its money from the traffic / high number of clicks the flame wars underneath the "articles" encourage. It is a very cynical business model.
I cannot understand why anyone who has control of their sensibilities would visit sites like this? I dislike Planet F1 even more than facebook (almost).

This is a reputable site, but like most things in life you need to pay to view / read.
For free and (some of the time) trustworthy motorsport news you've got "the race"
https://www.the-race.com, but even then the journos on there seem to love themselves more than the sport
In all seriousness, at least Mark Hughes and Gary Anderson have a track record in F1 even if a lot of what they write seems to have an agenda.
I think my problem is the internet has opened up a conduit for a lot of fake news. I am deeply untrusting of sources of information without a track record.
[edit]
Here's what Gary Anderson thinks (not that I think this is anything more or less than guesswork)
