let’s say that lately the car has started to be nervous on entry and the way i drive, i really struggle because I can never carry the speed I want, and this also forces me to change my driving style, and that simply makes me slower.

with the way i’m driving, i’m just increasing the problem, and that gives me even less confidence with the car. on my side I'm probably trying to change the way I'm driving too much. it feels like I'm not driving naturally. its very forced.

I agree with you on the whole technical team issue. James Allison has been a major disappointment. He and his department look as clueless on these regulations as anyone on the grid.
What I give Allison credit for is rescuing them from the brink of an entire generation of poor ground effect cars. The team looked totally lost before he came back

If this is true, it shows how out of touch and pathetic Wolff is. You think waving money at the kid is gonna solve things??

I think it's time for Wolff to move on, though I'm sure the PU division will save his ass next year

I thought he would've done more. The whole GE era has been:

We're lost we need new concept blah blah

We've found our North Star

we've had one or two good performances the correlation works we're back

Back to middling in the mid field after some botched floor upgrade

Honestly, if Wolff is trying to be funny here, it's pathetic.
Otherwise, if Wolff is being serious here, it's deplorable.

Is this an interview after the quali session? If so it's surprisingly brutal from Toto

:lol: :lol: Yeah we're cooked. It's time for a Tp change. The only people who cares about Kimi's mental are George, Lando, and Lewis... I might even put Max in there as well.

We need a Tp who would put their foot down.

This race smells like disaster. Especially for George with that skinny wing will pay the price. Honestly, IDK what this team is thinking with their shambolic setup and strategy calls.

Kimi is on medium downforce, he changed his rear wing. He's start in the pitlane

George however, is on low downforce.

Kimi's setup may not be such a good idea after all.
