Could it be that Zak is hyping up the upgrades for the car because he is negotiating with Max?

Max seems super unhappy and lashing out recently.

I don't think Max would be a great fit but I can understand why Zak would want him.

I doubt it, because if they didn't deliver he'd look like a right tit.

If Zak is saying it, it's because it's real.

Hopefully he still doesn't look like a tit.

Yeah, I guess it makes no sense to do it publicly, he could share everything privately.

Honestly with the way season was going, DNS and reliability issues our guys are doing really well, they are not that far behind and if the car is upgraded the point swings could be really big. Super exciting. I'd be happy with the season if we see a good upward trajectory with a couple of wins.
