This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
It was a bad qualy but people need to calm down. Reliability issues seem to be improving but there is a aero package issue where we cannot be fast on corners without adding to much drag and we still have some tyre management issues. Let the team develop. It’s clear merc is two steps ahead and probably hiding still some and Ferrari have done a very development job. We are in month 5 of this new regs.
People keep forgetting the most stupid rule ever invented, the CFD and wind tunnel time did not reset for the new regulations, McLaren were fighting a championship to the wire last year.
It would have been a MONUMENTAL achievement to be fighting for wins given this handicap and conditions.
This year they have grace IMO, if next year they are no where near, that's a failure of their own doing.
