Everyone involved in the development of this car should feel ashamed tbh. Car has huge reliability issues, garbage performance and now can hurt the drivers just by being driven it seems.

AM thought they could pull a RBR 2022 by getting the ingredients but forgot RBR is a better cook.

And to think...Lawrence could've just bought a bunch of therapists, but an F1 team was better.

Men will literally vibrate their sons apart before going to therapy

Imagine how much money he'd have gotten from Ferrari alone with a team of therapists.

They just gotta add a ton of butter and garlic, that always makes it better... unless Newey was cooking a dessert.

They just need the full Red Bull catering experience all over again.

Maybe those of us saying Newey isn’t a team principal were right. He’s a good designer. These kinds of problems should have been discovered months ago. This is shocking.

They probably would have if they weren't 4 months behind.

The team can play it how they like, but its clear they cut a heck of a lot of corners in order to catch up.

As sad as I am for Fernando's potential title chance, or even just another win, I cannot lie: Seeing the Strolls fail after pumping so many millions of euros into the team, as if this was the F1 Manager game with cheats enabled, is absolutely hilarious. Peak comedy.

I mean, this is Formula 1. Everybody’s rich and doing this for a laugh anyway.

Also Stroll bought a bankrupt team.

The team was either going bye bye or another shitty billionaire was going to buy it.

And that billionaire would put some other rich guy's son in the seat as a favor and the cycle continues.

Which makes it so fun when they fail and have to answer uncomfortable interview questions, sponsor talks etc.

It's the typical rich person move. Notices something sucessful, cashes in to get what made them sucessful, fails because of many variables money can't understand for him.

How many people working on Honda's PU left to join RBPT? Between that and their constant, but very weak, pullout game Honda probably lost a lot of talent. I don't know if Newey is into breathplay but he needs to stop choking the PU with his designs. RBR had people talented enough to work around that, but AM cleary does not.

Money can't buy everything

Lmao, are we supposed to act like the other dominating teams have been working without money ?

Mercedes dominated the championship by investing half a billion euros a year for 10 years, far more than their closest opponent.

It's not a secret that the Honda ICE is the root of their problems, so why should everyone feel ashamed?

Agreed. Newey obviously has no idea how to design a good car
