this is what I'm taking from it too. At least short term. I don't know what they are allowed to do and what the budget is, but if anyone can work underbudget and scrappy i believe its the MTC. i just think its going to take a major regrouping in the design team. they were really trying to learn from the other cars on the track this weekend so I think they all need to sit down and put all that into something. ultimately i just hope they produce a driveable and competitive car, but i do not see any podiums this year.I just looked at some more interviews from yesterday and to be honest, the team doesn’t look like they believe the issues can be really fixed. The most painful thing is that in Barcelona, everyone was so hopeful for the season and in such good spirits and it’s all gone now![]()
as far as good news, I think this will be good for Lando who is so used to being competitive and a top contender his entire life. I think it will aid in maturing him andmaking him hungrier and more focused on what he can contribute as a driver to the team/design. i also think this is good for DR because if they give him a shit car then they can't easily cut him as a driver next year. But like lando, i hope this gives DR some real drive to get back. I think since both drives have had wins before, and arent used to this kind of situation at the back they will be more driven than ever to improve.
