I'd believe it tbh, the ATO3 is being held together by hopes, dreams and the chewed remains of Yuki's croissants at this point. He actually confirmed to Japanese media that he had a broken floor in Spa last week which is why his Quali issues happened and the amount of mechanical problems both he and Pierre have had this year is ridiculous. Yuki seems to be playing nice because of the contract uncertainty but his Japanese interviews show a lot of his frustration
