I couldn't believe that Alonso asked for 4 more ticks of DF on the front wing on the tire change. How could they be so off ?

when newey gets in there he will know who needs to go after some time. right now, the question remains, who are they going to replace them with? with cardille coming, would it be smart to fire fallows? or would it be better to see if the 2 of them together can do things better. what if the new wind tunnel finally gets them answers, and then u got rid of one of the most highly rated guys on the grid to one of the competitors. its hard to say. they need to do better, i just hope they are keeping them around because they know that its not their incompetence causing all the sh$$ upgrades theyve had for 2 years straight. i think they are kinda playing the long game atm, and waiting on newey to make some of those calls once hes been there a minute. at least theyll be using their own wind tunnel for next years upgrades and the 26 carPinkFloydPulse wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 23:21A lot of us said Crack and Fallows need to go… And a lot also said to give them time… Time’s up, heads need to roll!
In a way these 4 months waiting for Newey/Cowells inputs and the new wind tunnel/simulator will feel less painful once the racing is over. They really need a hard reset after another ludicrous update. Still hope they can end the year on somewhat of a good note. Let’s hope for a Christmas miracle and a vastly different much faster 2025 car and beyond.zoroastar wrote: ↑21 Oct 2024, 04:44when newey gets in there he will know who needs to go after some time. right now, the question remains, who are they going to replace them with? with cardille coming, would it be smart to fire fallows? or would it be better to see if the 2 of them together can do things better. what if the new wind tunnel finally gets them answers, and then u got rid of one of the most highly rated guys on the grid to one of the competitors. its hard to say. they need to do better, i just hope they are keeping them around because they know that its not their incompetence causing all the sh$$ upgrades theyve had for 2 years straight. i think they are kinda playing the long game atm, and waiting on newey to make some of those calls once hes been there a minute. at least theyll be using their own wind tunnel for next years upgrades and the 26 carPinkFloydPulse wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 23:21A lot of us said Crack and Fallows need to go… And a lot also said to give them time… Time’s up, heads need to roll!
maybe andy cowell will make some changes if he sees them needing to be done in the meantime, but i dont know if lawrence feels comfortable firing people unless he knows for sure its for the better. and it seems from the outside that its pretty convoluted.
yeah for real. they have, at times been better with their updates after they have time to get them dialed in, but yeah, still isnt gonna make them clearly faster than haas and RB. i think cowells first race appearance was today so maybe there are some things happening sooner than later. i doubt if anyone is very comfortable in their positions right now, so we just gotta hope that whatever is wrong with them gets fixed. i hope that it is something with mercedes tunnel. it is strange how they both seem so clueless about how to improve their car in a way that it works every week. and performamce changes from one session to the next. they need a truely stable baseline. hopefully some of their new hirings can at least point them in the right direction to get that.RedNEO wrote: ↑21 Oct 2024, 06:19In a way these 4 months waiting for Newey/Cowells inputs and the new wind tunnel/simulator will feel less painful once the racing is over.

Williams is still using the older pull-rod suspension from Mercedes, as Vowles said Mercedes was too late on informing them of the final push-rod/gearbox specification and didn't want to compromise design of the 2024 car.laspeorasdeaston wrote: ↑21 Oct 2024, 10:44On a "positive note", they are testing 2025 parts on the 2024 chasis so at least they are already gathering data from what's wrong or right. Also, I relate to you guys, we need to see how the team upgrades the '25 car with the new WT. There must be something wrong with Mercedes WT because they had also quite the bad upgrade package here at COTA. Also, I believe their rear suspension is a limitation, thought if a smaller team like Williams is using it and its ahead of us, so it's no excuse or justification.
