This team needs a deep cleansing of leadership, including Allison.
Toto has no understanding and experience of what actually makes a good car

Get Vowles back or even poach Stella as TP
Otherwise, McLaren will be the leading Merc-PU team
:lol: :lol:

Allison saying he doesnt think it was the upgrades that caused the spins in Austin but that they had the car too low, too stiff and the handling degraded because of it (8mins:45secs in). whole thing is worth a watch though



"It wasn't the upgrades, it's the way the upgrades need to be setup that made us fail". There's a sucker born every day. :lol:

If the updates only work when the car is low and stiff (as your simulation tools suggested would be best for the update), then the updates are actually the problem...
yea i agree, its not looking good for them for the rest of the year and the next. they were looking good going into the summer break but now its back to the "well, sometimes the car works, we just have to nail it" spiel
