In his much-criticized 2019 BBC Newsnight interview about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew made a series of remarks and excuses that were broadly seen as implausible or tone-deaf, deepening public distrust and damaging his reputation. He denied ever having sex with Virginia Giuffre, claiming he was at a PizzaExpress in Woking with his daughter on the date she alleged, and insisted he couldn't sweat due to an “adrenaline overdose” from the Falklands War — assertions that were widely mocked and widely reported as undermining his credibility. At the time, Andrew also tried to downplay his closeness to Epstein, saying they met only occasionally and that he had ended contact in 2010; subsequent releases of emails and documents suggested continued contact beyond that date, adding to the perception that his interview responses were evasive or misleading.Behind the scenes, those involved in arranging and producing the interview later described it as a “car crash” or PR disaster that was disastrously misjudged by palace advisers and by Andrew himself. According to accounts around the broadcast, Andrew and his team initially believed the interview would help clear the air but were unprepared for the level of probing about Epstein and Giuffre. The aftermath saw a swift public backlash, damage to the monarchy's image, and Andrew stepping back from royal duties; his remarks became focal points for ridicule, and subsequent analyses and dramatizations (including in documentaries and dramatized films) have highlighted how poorly his explanations landed and how badly they aligned with available evidence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

La primera semana de pretemporada ha dejado una F1 dividida entre certezas parciales y misterios bien calculados. Si la semana pasada con “conformábamos” con el Montecarlo y Daytona, lo que nos ha traído esta semana es puro nervio. Y en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 tratan de calmarnos. Datos que ¿no sirven para nada? Aunque los equipos insisten en que el “shakedown” no debe interpretarse como una prueba de rendimiento puro, los datos acumulados en pista siempre permiten dibujar tendencias. Y este año, la fiabilidad (más que la velocidad, al menos en esta primera semana) ha sido el indicador que más ha hablado. Mercedes emerge como el equipo más sólido del arranque por la abrumadora cantidad de vueltas acumuladas. Más de 500 giros, sin sombras de problemas mecánicos y con varias simulaciones de carrera completadas, colocan al equipo de Toto Wolff en una posición privilegiada en términos de preparación. Tras años de altibajos, esta primera señal sugiere que el nuevo monoplaza podría ser competitivo desde el inicio. La serenidad se ha instalado en Brackley mientras otros equipos buscan respuestas. Otros niveles “aceptables” (e inaceptables). Ferrari y los equipos con motor Red Bull Ford han mostrado también niveles aceptables de fiabilidad, aunque sin el volumen de trabajo de Mercedes. McLaren, por ejemplo, ha sorprendido positivamente por el nivel de madurez técnica de su coche. La sensación general es que Woking llega con una base muy trabajada, lista para evolucionar desde el primer Gran Premio. En la otra cara de la moneda se encuentran Audi y Cadillac, cuyos problemas mecánicos han limitado gravemente el kilometraje. Para Audi, que entra en la era de la F1 con ambición de fabricante completo, estos primeros tropiezos no pasan desapercibidos. En la F1 moderna, cada vuelta es oro, y su déficit no es buena señal (aunque sí normal para un nuevo motorista). La estrella de la fiesta. Pero si hay un equipo que ha generado conversación, ese es Aston Martin. Su coche, en el que se nota a la legua la marca Adrian Newey, es probablemente el más radical de la parrilla. Soluciones aerodinámicas extremas, volúmenes arriesgados y una filosofía técnica muy distinta al resto convierten al AMR26 en uno de los grandes puntos de interés del invierno. Sin embargo, su escaso rodaje (solo un día y con velocidad controlada) deja abiertas más preguntas que respuestas. ¿Falta de preparación? ¿Estrategia para esconder fortalezas? ¿Cautela por parte de Honda ante posibles problemas de motor? Eso sí, para los aficionados (sobre todo los españoles) el gesto – la sonrisa que no podía ocultar – de Fernando Alonso tras la jornada no ha pasado desapercibido. El “shakedown” evaluado. Las cifras de esta semana lo dejan claro: Aston Martin es la mayor incógnita; Mercedes, la mayor certeza; y Audi, la mayor decepción (provisional). El debate, aparte de las cifras, está en si esta normativa permitirá que las diferencias entre motores se mitiguen mediante aerodinámica. Algunos ingenieros apuntan que sí: el comportamiento más predecible de los coches favorece a quienes hayan logrado conceptos aerodinámicos eficientes, incluso con motores menos dominantes. Por último, la (lamentable) ausencia total de Williams añade un punto más de incertidumbre a la parrilla: en una pretemporada tan corta, perder días de pista es un golpe duro. El resultado de la evaluación está claro: esta primera semana no revela quién será rápido, pero sí quién está preparado. Mejor aún, al menos para los aficionados: la F1 arranca su camino hacia el nuevo reglamento con un abanico de ideas técnicas más amplio que en años anteriores y con equipos que se mueven entre la cautela y la ambición. Lo único seguro es que la pretemporada nos ha dado mucha ilusión… y un buen número de enigmas por resolver.

Prince Andrew's downfall is one of the most humiliating collapses in modern royal history. Once celebrated as the Queen's proud, battle-tested son, he's now the monarchy's biggest embarrassment—stripped of his titles, frozen out of public life, and quietly told to stop using “Duke of York” in any official capacity. His friendship with Jeffrey Epstein destroyed his reputation, and that infamous BBC interview finished the job. The “I don't sweat” defense, the “Pizza Express in Woking” excuse, and the tone-deaf denial turned him into a global punchline. Now, even within his own family, he's a ghost—technically still a prince, but one without purpose, honor, or credibility. The palace's silence speaks louder than any statement: Andrew is done.Historically, plenty of dukes have fallen from grace—some lost their heads, some lost their thrones—but none have been publicly humiliated like Andrew. His disgrace didn't come from war or treason but from arrogance and entitlement in the age of social media, where every lie is immortal and every excuse becomes a meme. The monarchy has erased him one step at a time, preserving the crown while letting him fade into oblivion. He's not the Duke of York anymore—he's the Duke of Nowhere, condemned to live out his days as a cautionary tale about power, privilege, and the price of believing you're untouchable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Las Vegas: el mal sueño americano de McLaren Raúl Molina Recio Madre mía, cómo se ha puesto la Fórmula 1 después de Las Vegas. El Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 aborda en este primer programa de la semana un Gran Premio de locos: victoria de Verstappen y descalificación de los dos McLarens por irregularidades técnicas. Con esto, Max iguala a Piastri y ambos están a 24 puntos de Norris, a falta de 2 Grandes Premios, uno de ellos, al Sprint. Sí hubo (buen) espectáculo. Al final, Las Vegas tuvo una clasificación trepidante gracias a la lluvia. Norris se llevó una tremenda pole. De hecho, el británico sólo cometió un único error en todo el fin de semana, en la salida de la carrera en la curva 1, a pesar de lo cual pagó el máximo precio posible. Por otro lado, la carrera fue muy, muy insulsa en un circuito banal que trata de compensar su insignificancia con un espectáculo fuera de la pista, que sólo puede gustar a gente con un gusto muy particular, pocos de ellos verdaderos aficionados a la Fórmula 1. Pese a todo, como toda esta temporada, los vuelcos de guion están siendo de órdago y Max, como gran campeón que es, y el mejor piloto de la parrilla en la actualidad, tiene, además, la suerte de su lado: un desgaste excesivo del skid-block, la madera que va bajo el suelo de los monoplazas, de los McLarens, que acabó por debajo del grosor mínimo, provocó la descalificación de los de Woking. Max es muy bueno, como resaltan todos los medios, sin embargo, en este caso, este recorte de puntos no se debe a su pilotaje, como parece deducirse de muchos titulares, interesados en contar una historia y dar épica, sino a la mala suerte de sus rivales. La realidad, ahora mismo, es que Norris estuvo a la altura y con el resultado original de la carrera sólo hubiera perdido 8 puntos de los 49 que tenía de ventaja sobre el holandés. Todo hay que ponerlo en su sitio. Por la clasificación mereció la pena el fin de semana. Como ya se ha comentado, la clasificación fue vibrante debido a la lluvia, que obligó a los pilotos a utilizar compuestos de lluvia extrema en Q1 y Q2. Lando Norris logró una pole brillante que evidenciaba su fortaleza en condiciones cambiantes. Sin embargo, ese dominio se evaporó en la primera curva de la carrera del domingo, cuando un error al cerrar la puerta a Verstappen lo dejó fuera de la trazada, perdiendo posición tanto con el neerlandés como con Russell. Ese instante marcaría el resto de su fin de semana. Bueno, ese instante y la mala gestión técnica por parte del equipo. Si Lando pierde el mundial con Verstappen habrá sido, en gran parte, culpa de este error sin sentido de su equipo. Neumáticos y estrategias. En cuanto al ritmo puro, McLaren y Red Bull mostraron fuerzas muy similares, aunque Verstappen consiguió gestionar mejor los momentos clave. Russell protagonizó una intensa persecución al líder, pero destrozó sus neumáticos en el intento. Además, la parada temprana de Russell permitió a Norris situarse por delante, aunque posteriormente perdería la posición tras el ciclo completo de detenciones en la vuelta 35. Y también hay que mencionar al que, finalmente, tras las descalificaciones, terminaría tercero, el compañero de Russell, Antonelli. Su capacidad para defender su posición con neumáticos muy gastados ante Piastri y Leclerc ha sido uno de los highlights del Gran Premio. Y es que la gestión de las gomas fue una sorpresa general, especialmente por la baja degradación, algo que condicionó las estrategias y la lectura general del Gran Premio. Un Mundial muy calentito, dentro y fuera de la pista. También hay espacio, en este primer programa, para cuestiones extradeportivas, como los movimientos internos en Aston Martin tras el anuncio de la salida de Andy Cowell y los rumores sobre Andreas Seidl como posible sustituto, reflejando la presión acumulada dentro del equipo esta temporada. Y más si escuchamos las declaraciones de Alonso. Sea como sea, quedan dos carreras en las dos próximas semanas y la de este fin de semana será, además, sprint, con mayor reparto de puntos, así que el Mundial está que se sale y lo vamos a disfrutar mucho.

Prince Andrew, Duke of York's so-called “Pizza Express alibi” during his 2019 interview about the Virginia Giuffre/Jeffrey Epstein scandal has become one of the most ridiculed moments of his public defence. In the sit-down with Emily Maitlis for the BBC's Newsnight, he stated that on the night Giuffre alleges sexual contact—with her claim involving dancing and sweating at a London nightclub—he was instead at a children's birthday party at a Pizza Express in Woking with his daughter, and then at home.He doubled down by offering another unlikely defence: that due to an “overdose of adrenaline” during his service in the Falklands War he was now incapable of sweating, which in his view invalidated Giuffre's description of him “profusely sweating”. The combination of the chain-restaurant birthday party in Woking and the medical-condition claim struck many as tone-deaf and implausible, contributing heavily to the backlash and the erosion of his credibility in the wider scandal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In late 2019, Prince Andrew sat down for his now-infamous BBC Newsnight interview, claiming that he would “meet the allegations head-on” concerning his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the accusations made by Virginia Giuffre. He insisted that he had “no recollection of ever meeting” Giuffre, denied any sexual contact with her, and even offered an alibi involving a family trip to Pizza Express in Woking. The Duke portrayed his relationship with Epstein as one of poor judgment rather than complicity, saying he only stayed friends with the disgraced financier to sever ties “honorably.” His insistence that the association had been “very useful” for business and social connections further fueled public outrage, painting him as detached and tone-deaf in the face of serious allegations.The fallout was swift and brutal. What Andrew described as an attempt to clear his name became a PR catastrophe that effectively ended his public life. The interview was condemned for his lack of remorse, his robotic demeanor, and his failure to express sympathy for Epstein's victims. Within days, major institutions and charities cut ties with him, and Buckingham Palace announced that he would be stepping down from royal duties indefinitely. His promise to cooperate with U.S. investigators later proved hollow, as American prosecutors repeatedly complained that he had not made himself available for questioning. The man who vowed to “meet it head-on” instead retreated into silence, leaving his credibility — and his legacy — in tatters.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In his infamous BBC Newsnight interview on November 16, 2019, Prince Andrew sat down with journalist Emily Maitlis to address his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre (then Roberts), who said she was trafficked to the Duke at age 17. The interview was meant to clear his name but instead became a public disaster. Andrew denied ever meeting Giuffre despite the now-iconic photo showing them together, claiming he had “no recollection” of her and insisting that on the night in question, he had been at a Pizza Express in Woking with his daughter. He also called his relationship with Epstein “very useful” for business and refused to apologize for associating with him, saying his biggest mistake was “not breaking off the friendship sooner.”Public backlash was immediate and brutal. Viewers described his answers as arrogant and tone-deaf, with one of his most ridiculed defenses being that he couldn't have been sweating while dancing with Giuffre because a war injury from the Falklands had caused him to “temporarily lose the ability to sweat.” The interview was widely viewed as catastrophic, leading Andrew to withdraw from royal duties and lose multiple titles and patronages. It permanently damaged his reputation and deepened public disgust with both him and the monarchy, becoming one of the biggest PR disasters in royal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The “I don't sweat” defense, the “Pizza Express in Woking” excuse, and the tone-deaf denial turned him into a global punchline. Now, even within his own family, he's a ghost—technically still a prince, but one without purpose, honor, or credibility. The palace's silence speaks louder than any statement: Andrew is done.Historically, plenty of dukes have fallen from grace—some lost their heads, some lost their thrones—but none have been publicly humiliated like Andrew. His disgrace didn't come from war or treason but from arrogance and entitlement in the age of social media, where every lie is immortal and every excuse becomes a meme. The monarchy has erased him one step at a time, preserving the crown while letting him fade into oblivion. He's not the Duke of York anymore—he's the Duke of Nowhere, condemned to live out his days as a cautionary tale about power, privilege, and the price of believing you're untouchable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Después de una semana sin acción en los circuitos, pero en la que nos quedamos sobresaltados con la decisión de Kalle Rovanpera de acabar su carrera en los rallies para pasarse al circuito, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se prepara ahora para el salto a América, en la Fórmula 1, que llega, con Sprint, al COTA. Circuit of the Americas, un clásico. Llegamos a uno de los circuitos que más gustan a los buenos, como es el COTA. Una pista difícil donde tendremos que ver si, después de pasar por pistas excepcionales, McLaren va a volver a las andadas de dominio y si Max Verstappen está en medio para aguarles la fiesta. Los de Woking ya han tenido su primer choque leve, pero Piastri ha tomado buena nota y sigue sin estar contento. Esto está que arde, aunque sea en un fin de semana al sprint, donde hay muchísimos puntos en juego. Cuestión de técnica. El análisis técnico del circuito destaca su carácter versátil y exigente. Con una longitud de 5,513 km y 20 curvas que combinan secciones inspiradas en trazados emblemáticos – como las curvas tipo Maggots-Becketts de Silverstone, las enlazadas de Suzuka o los giros de Istanbul Park –, el COTA demanda un equilibrio óptimo entre velocidad punta y estabilidad en zonas técnicas. El desnivel de 41 metros al inicio de la vuelta, especialmente visible en la empinada subida hacia la primera curva, añade un desafío adicional tanto para pilotos como para ingenieros… y a los aficionados nos encanta. Neumáticos y frenos. Pirelli ha decidido llevar a Austin una combinación de neumáticos no consecutivos: C1 (duro), C3 (medio) y C4 (blando). Esta elección, similar a la empleada en Spa-Francorchamps, busca ampliar el abanico estratégico. El compuesto C1, más duro que el usado el año pasado, podría favorecer carreras a una sola parada, mientras que el uso de medios y blandos implicaría dos detenciones, a cambio de un mejor ritmo de vuelta. Sin embargo, el formato sprint limita el tiempo de pruebas y genera incertidumbre sobre el comportamiento real de los compuestos. El año pasado, la mayoría de pilotos apostó por una sola parada, combinando neumáticos medios y duros, en una carrera marcada por la gestión térmica y un safety car que ayudó a prolongar los stints. Se espera que este año la evolución del asfalto (repavimentado parcialmente y más suave) y las altas temperaturas (en torno a los 30 °C) vuelvan a jugar un papel importante en la degradación y el agarre. En cuanto a la exigencia de los frenos, los ingenieros de Brembo clasifican el COTA como un circuito de dificultad media (3/5), con nueve zonas de frenada por vuelta y 16,5 segundos de uso de frenos. La curva 12, tras la larga recta posterior, es la más exigente, con una desaceleración de 4,2 g y una presión sobre el pedal de hasta 130 kg. Qué podemos esperar. Más allá del debate sobre si McLaren podrá mantener su reciente forma en un trazado tan técnico o si Max Verstappen impondrá nuevamente su dominio, sobre cómo actuará Piastri ahora que ya empezamos a ver tensiones internas, y de que el formato al sprint podría restar espectacularidad al fin de semana, el GP de Estados Unidos promete ser un fin de semana de alta intensidad técnica y estratégica, con la incógnita añadida de cómo se adaptarán los equipos al limitado tiempo de rodaje y a las nuevas variables introducidas por Pirelli.

La Fórmula 1 vuelve a escena con el Gran Premio de Singapur, una de las carreras más carismáticas y exigentes del calendario. Su condición de circuito urbano, nocturno y extremadamente caluroso lo convierte en una prueba de resistencia para pilotos y máquinas. Así que todos, tanto los profesionales como los aficionados, tenemos que prepararnos convenientemente para el fin de semana. Las claves de la carrera en Singapur. Las claves de la cita están en la adaptación al clima y la estrategia de neumáticos. La humedad superior al 70 % y temperaturas constantes que rondan los 30 °C hacen de Singapur un auténtico “infierno físico”. La degradación térmica es el mayor enemigo de los neumáticos, y Pirelli ha optado por los compuestos C3, C4 y C5. El medio y el duro serán los más usados en carrera, mientras que el blando puede ser decisivo en momentos puntuales, como la salida o tras la aparición de un coche de seguridad, frecuente en este circuito. El trazado de 4,940 km cuenta con 19 curvas y cuatro zonas de DRS. Aunque adelantar sigue siendo complicado, las modificaciones de 2023 introdujeron una recta de 400 metros que ofrece más oportunidades que en el pasado. Estadísticas, clasificación y estrategias. En Singapur la clasificación mantiene un papel determinante: en dos tercios de las ediciones el ganador partió desde la pole. El caso más excepcional fue en 2008, cuando Alonso venció partiendo desde la 15ª posición en una caótica carrera. A nivel histórico, Vettel es el piloto más laureado aquí con cinco triunfos, seguido por Hamilton con cuatro, mientras que Verstappen aún no ha ganado ni firmado una pole en Marina Bay. Entre los equipos, Ferrari lidera en poles y Red Bull en podios. Otro aspecto fundamental es la gestión de frenos. Según Brembo, Marina Bay es uno de los circuitos más exigentes, con un nivel de dificultad de 4 sobre 5. Los pilotos frenan 11 veces por vuelta y alcanzan deceleraciones de hasta 4,9 g en la curva 7. El esfuerzo continuado exige un equilibrio perfecto en la puesta a punto del coche, con alta carga aerodinámica para maximizar agarre y estabilidad. Carácter pionero. El GP de Singapur también tiene un carácter pionero: fue la primera carrera nocturna de la F1, lo que implicó un gran despliegue tecnológico en iluminación. La visibilidad bajo luces artificiales plantea retos adicionales, como reflejos en pista y viseras. Además, a diferencia de otras carreras nocturnas, en Singapur la temperatura se mantiene estable del día a la noche, aumentando el desgaste físico de los pilotos, por no hablar de las lluvias tropicales, que son un factor imprevisible, dado que pueden borrar el caucho depositado y alterar la evolución de la pista. Dónde estará la atención. Tras un fin de semana sin Fórmula 1 (cosas que ya se nos va a haciendo rara), la atención se centra en el pulso entre McLaren y Red Bull, con la incógnita de si Verstappen podrá conquistar por primera vez Marina Bay y en un fin de semana donde McLaren podría certificar el campeonato de constructores. Los de Woking están a solo 13 puntos de certificar el título de constructores. Bastaría con un podio o incluso posiciones intermedias combinadas para que el equipo se corone matemáticamente. Pero visto lo visto en Baku, y con la tensión del campeonato en juego, Marina Bay vuelve a prometer un espectáculo donde la estrategia, la resistencia y la precisión serán determinantes.

Sam McAlister, the BBC producer who secured the 2019 Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew, described the experience as profoundly surreal and devastating for him. Despite the careful, months-long negotiations she orchestrated to obtain the sit-down—framing it as a "circumspect moment" where Andrew could express regret without admitting guilt—his actual on-air responses were catastrophically tone-deaf. McAlister witnessed first-hand as Andrew delivered a series of bizarre alibis—like asserting he couldn't have had sex with Virginia Giuffre because he couldn't sweat or claiming he was at a kids' party at Pizza Express in Woking. Reflecting afterward, she famously called his performance “a masterclass in how to destroy your life,” noting the mismatch between his perception of success and the interview's disastrous fallout.From her vantage point about 15 feet behind Andrew during the interview, McAlister maintained a poker-face to conceal her shock, struggling internally with the sheer absurdity of his responses. She recognized that while Andrew thought the interview had gone well—reportedly even giving the BBC team a tour of Buckingham Palace afterward—it was already derailing catastrophically. In a moment of tension, McAlister admitted she had a fleeting thought to halt the interview entirely—joking that she might have feigned a fainting fit or created another excuse to stop it if he had been her client. Her memoir Scoops and the Netflix film Scoop dramatize how her persistence and candor set up one of the biggest journalistic operations of the decade, even as the fallout effectively ended Andrew's royal public life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://inews.co.uk/opinion/how-i-found-prince-andrews-sweet-spot-and-secured-the-infamous-newsnight-interview-1750247Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Prince Andrew interview on BBC Newsnight came about after Buckingham Palace sought to clear his name amid growing scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The idea was first pitched when Prince Andrew's then-private secretary, Amanda Thirsk, was in discussions with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis and Newsnight editor Esme Wren about a possible interview. Initially, the palace wanted to use the interview to refute allegations that Prince Andrew had sexually abused Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to him by Epstein when she was 17. Thirsk and Andrew saw it as an opportunity to publicly address the controversy, believing it would help him regain credibility. The interview was arranged through direct negotiations between Thirsk and the Newsnight team, with Prince Andrew ultimately agreeing to the sit-down, which was filmed inside Buckingham Palace in November 2019.However, the interview turned into a public relations disaster for Prince Andrew. Instead of clearing his name, his lack of remorse, bizarre explanations, and contradictions only fueled greater criticism. He infamously claimed he could not have been with Giuffre on the alleged night because he was at Pizza Express in Woking and insisted he could not sweat due to a medical condition. The broadcast led to intense backlash, forcing Andrew to step back from royal duties days later. BBC journalist Sam McAlister, who negotiated the interview, later revealed that Andrew and his team failed to anticipate how damning his answers would sound, leading to what is now regarded as one of the most disastrous royal interviews in history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
