Ricciardo left because of the equal treatment thing after Baku. And the money didn’t hurt either. I think Sainz also for similar reasons. If the team decides they favour the other driver and you have your own ambitions then you should leave for your own sake.
Well he is sometimes. He’s trying to improvise 30 minutes of live, unrehearsed TV as he goes along and hit his timings while walking down the pit lane and interacting with people while other people talk in his ear. Which is very very difficult.
From what I can see from his notebook features, Ted generally doesn't give away confidential information. But he does mentions rumours, of which there are generally aplenty in the paddock. And from what I can see, these rumours sometimes do hold some truth.El Scorchio wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 12:06Well he is sometimes.

If perez so important for his country and it makes good marketing for Redbull brand, honda brand and if both party gives importance that market, then it is enough.godlameroso wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 16:27Perez's backer isn't Telecel, someone associated with Telecel, and AT&T isn't anywhere close to being a title sponsor. If Perez brings any money, at least enough to cover his salary, I think it would be enough.
Red Bull sold a lot of cans this year, unlike the car market, 2020 positively affected R B sales.

More concerning is the fact that this issue has been there since 2017. If I recall well, they had already mentioned it back then and had said that this was sorted... Seems like it wasn't, so makes you wonder if it is indeed sorted now...lio007 wrote: ↑17 Dec 2020, 12:20I'm a bit concerned:https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/for ... anz-marko/Helmut Marko wrote:The inconsistencies arose because our wind tunnel, which is an older model, gave incorrect information with the wider car.

And in the article from AMuS they pointed to the front wing and difficulties sealing the floor (my interpretation). If they indeed have a good front wing / cape than half of the car is already sorted out what should give a good basis for further developments.godlameroso wrote: ↑17 Dec 2020, 23:31It's not hopeless, remember the tunnel and CFD are tools. At the end of the day it's the monkey pulling the lever that's getting it done. If people overlook something, or lack understanding, then it takes seeing it and then understanding the issue before you can solve it. If they didn't have the deficit to overcome, would they gain the same understanding? Say that you're already ahead, if everyone else is a fair bit behind you how would you know where you can gain? On the other hand, if you're behind, and you're desperately trying to catch up, you're going to go over exactly where you're behind, see the variables you can't control, and see which ones you can, and how to improve.
In the end, they understood the issue, and their tools were good enough to help them implement the proper changes, so one step back to go two and a half steps forward. Not so bad if you ask me.
