Or the new rear suspension doesn't work? New one caused Lance's to break. Both cars had the oscillations. If they reverted back to the old suspension and the vibrations are gone in FP2, one could surmise that there is some relationship.
For some reason Newey's response doesn't seem genuine. I think he's feeling the pressure of Stroll Sr. as his son's car almost pitched him into the wall. Stroll had a masterful save - possibly Newey's job.
neweys answers "dont seem genuine" because you are incapable of offering any view that doesnt leave AMR as some villain thats in some weird war against hondas integrity. any quote from newey or any other team member that doesnt offer complete immunity to honda from doing anything wrong is obviously a conspiracy to denigrate the whole company, and all japanese people to boot. (this is weird af)
if you think newey is feeling some kind of pressure for his job you are delusional. he feels pressure because he want to win. any pressure newey has is put on him by himself at this point in his career.
Perhaps I'm more keen on his diction. He didn't come out and say it as if he knew what was the issue. The journalist kind of baited him with that question, in effect, leading the witness. Besides, they dialed out the oscillations and vibrations, did they not? And who would you credit that to? It's called team effort. No need for Newey to immediately call out Honda.
he didnt call out honda (if thats what youre saying). he made a simple statement, that honda would be the ones to answer that question. some people find that horrible because it goes against their narrative that honda have nothing to do with the vibration problem.. SORRY.. no need for everybody to be hyper sensitive and pick everything out as some insult to their preferred company. especially when you then make some even farther out statement like neweys job may be at risk for putting the owners son in danger.
this site reminds me a lot of the camera forums now. when sony started getting serious about building professional digital cameras, they decided to take something they learned from promoting their sony playstation against the xbox. they flooded sites with nonsense, pro sony, anti every other brand. attacking anything that could be considered threatening to their brand. its the exact same process here. to a few in here, this is a honda site. aston martin is the enemy. newey, the enemy. alonso, 10 years ago he said something bad. he is the enemy. god help anyone else that mentions honda in anything besides perfection, they will be the enemy forever. this is a team sport, just like you said, but to some its honda vs the world. the rest of us hope that the whole team do good.
