Yeh, strategy seems non existent, or at least as if everyone takes a turn if they know what they are doing or not including the tea lady.Jolle wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 21:35It's not just the engine. It's also uninspired drivers, unsupported driver, bad and weird strategy calls, no leadership in race prep and bad development of the car itself (as one of the few teams, they still race a 2017-sh square style nose).Big Tea wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 21:21What I can not work out is that everyone is saying this is a dog of a car ( which it is) but as bad as it was today the same car finished 7th in Spain, 6th in Hungry, 4th and 3 rd in Silverstone and 2nd in Austria.
So a car good enough to finish second in Austria, and 3 and 4 in GB is suddenly so poor it finishes 13th and 14th?
The cars in front have not made giant leaps, especially the ones with Ferrari engines.
Something smells wrong
it feels a bit like a downward spiral, when everything feels like it's in reverse
We can tell just by the tone of the drivers voice they have no confidence in what they are told, or even worse not told. Contrast this to when Rob Smedly was there. Even when he had to give bad orders to a driver it was concise and left the driver in no doubt that this was the plan, and yes we have a plan.
I really don't know why the drivers are being confused and I can see how they think Ferrari have no idea, what do they expect them to do? Either discuss it with the driver as adults, or tell them what is to do, not dither until it is too late.
The drivers will try their best to hit the plan, as long as they know what the plan is. If other areas of the team are run the same... well, I give up.
