Regarding the upgrades that Mclaren did this year. Are these upgrades that Mclaren had in the making or did they simply made a full Red Bull copy? The reason Im asking is because there is this opinion that Mclaren made that big of a jump because they claimed to have fully copied Red Bull and also benefited from rule changes that damaged Aston Martin, Ferrari and Mercedes. So can someone with more knowledge on the matter give me an idea if thats true or not?
James Key has the habit of reinventing the wheel himself. Refusing to copy designs.
He was wel known about this habit at Torro Rosso/Alpha Tauri. It really helped Torro Rosso did it?
MCL is bold enough to make decisions. Kudos for that. They are building a team. And those who don’t fit, no matter the quality, are out!
That is a very good way to grow!
One individual is not responsible for success or failure of a car. It's the entire team. If the team is good, results are good. A strong leader always wants to install a sense of self reliance. It's a matter of building the culture of innovation. It's not easy, but when that culture is fully implemented, the results would be marvelous.
On the other hand, copying is easy, but as history has proven, the copies always remain behind. Did anyone see Newey copying the Mercedes cars of 2014 to 2020 as they were winning cars? You can't win races consistently with a copycat, neither can a championship be.
