I agree that RB needs a good reference. Alpine should build a winner first.

Oh, so not an issue getting the PU to work, they're just keen as mustard to get out there and run it on track for the first time.“We've got simulations, we've done all our calculations, and we've modified the engine and the way that the engine drives in order for us to be ready.
“And we'll be able to react to when the driver puts the power on perhaps in a slightly different way, perhaps at a slightly different time.
“Of course, we're absolutely desperate to get to the first track test so we can see if those simulations are correct. Hopefully they will be.
“If not, we'll be ready to adjust the PU as necessary to make sure that the driver gets exactly what they want when they ask for it.”
He's been talking for whole 5 minutes. That must be at least 10 click bait articles, 1 for each sentence said. Minimum.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑07 Feb 2022, 10:54Does anyone else find the click bait headlines annoying.
Autosport headline from yesterday: Mercedes “absolutely desperate” to see 2022 F1 power unit run
Crickey, that sounds like they're having problems, doesn't it?
The bit in quotes is from Mercedes's Hywel Thomas and is a tiny quote from a much bigger one [my highlight]:Oh, so not an issue getting the PU to work, they're just keen as mustard to get out there and run it on track for the first time.“We've got simulations, we've done all our calculations, and we've modified the engine and the way that the engine drives in order for us to be ready.

It really is the worst of journalism. If one can call these stories journalism, of course.
Senna quit F1 after the 1989 Japanese GP after Jean Marie Balestre did a Masi times ten.

Schumacher and his leg was a very different story.. word has it that he didn’t want to return in 1999 because.. well, he couldn’t win that year. When young Mick picked up the phone when Montezemolo called “where is your dad”, Mick replied “he’s playing football in the garden”. Schumacher was an inch away of being fired and was back in the car asap.

Getting out of a contract is easy, Getting out of it and going to a rival company is hard. They can't force him to drive, any more than any other employer can for an employees to work!

By the way, it was not only Senna had a "I have enough of this circus", Balestre demanded an apology from Senna when he accused him of his, later admitted, favorism of Prost to get his super licence back.
A bit cringy to say the least, especially when reading those "randomly picked" posts. I must be just getting older for having a Clint Eastwoods face from Gran Torino whenever looking at the posts and news from modern celebrities.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑07 Feb 2022, 19:54This suggests something official is imminent from Mercedes?
