well if you read carefully the article, he makes a quite more complex argument than just "I'm not confident, 2025 is a write off", of course autosport needed a click bait title :)

nevertheless, I am of the same bottom idea and I don't very much expect Max to be in title contention next year, I see Ferrari and maybe McLaren a step ahead.

I much rather they have this attitude, and then positively surprise, than be arrogant about their prospects and then fail.

I loved this quote:
However, Wache sees his lack of optimism as a potential strength, because his downbeat assessment will force the team to dig deeper and find extra potential with its RB21.

“If you have confidence in this business, you are dead,” he said. “You have to work hard, and everybody has to, in the team, work hard. Everybody's working hard.

“When you see the number of people we have trying to find a very small amount of performance and add and add and add everywhere, it is a very difficult task.

“I have a lack of confidence, because if I have confidence, you go to sleep, you don't go to work, and then you don't find performance.”

Idk, seems like he is making more of a philosophical argument about why you shouldn't be confident in F1 generally. I think RB (Max) have as good a chance as anyone if they improve their mechanical platform and aerodynamic performance. These last couple of races should give us a clue if they have the right direction.

How could the RB21 be worse than the RB20? I think there's reason to be optimistic that they will fix some of the issues. It would be incredible to spend an entire winter developing a new car and it's just as bad as the old one. I find that unlikely.
