I would love a laugh… I called him out on twitter once and Matt Bishop blocked me… I wasn’t rude at all, simply stated what I have here and how they don’t ever write an article later saying “I was wrong on that one”Nicktendo86 wrote: ↑19 Feb 2022, 19:50He praised the MP4-28 on launch as well lolSmallSoldier wrote: ↑19 Feb 2022, 19:13
I guess is because of his track record? This is his take at the MCL35, calling it “disappointing”

That was the car that finished 3rd that season… He was also not very complimentary of the MCL34 either (which finished 4th), can’t post the article because it is under a paywall.
But yes, he allows his bias towards a team to cloud his analysis of such team… If you had a great season, your next car will be great (Mercedes, Red Bull), if you are coming from a drought you are disappoint (McLaren, Ferrari).
He really doesn’t say “why” either… He has a simple exit line and that is that he was “expecting more”, he won’t say what he was expecting… But I could have bet you a not insignificant amount of money that he was going to be amazed by Mercedes and Red Bull and disappointed with McLaren and Ferrari even before a single car was launched.
