If SHTF they can say we spoke up and nothing was done so bye bye RB.organic wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024, 17:03What do you mean sticking their nose in? The procedure so far has been imo highly irregular. Why publicise this investigation halfway through and then have essentially radio silence on it from RB themselves for over a month ? I'm just not following the logic and I think ford are struggling as well. Due to the association every day it continues besmirches their name too which they've built up over the past century, especially for them as Horner was a key player in bringing the Ford-RB partnership aboutboiler wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024, 16:54Why is Ford even sticking their nose into this right now? Outside of the hardcore fans the majority of the people that follow F1 have no clue they will be writing Redbull a check in TWO years, I agree this smells like Ford is laying the ground work to turn tail and get out without losing face..... Farley needs to focus on fixing Fords quality not what a team they have nothing to do with right now is investigating internally....
They have every right to put pressure on RB
For third parties sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut especially when you have no say in the matter.
NO, Ford are paying money NOW, not in 2 years.
