I have a feeling that we are experimenting this year with next years aerodynamics because of the token rule bs from the FIA and it's costing us so far.
That flipping Ricanult
We have loads of work to finish the season strongly
I was downbeat after Portimao because we didn’t capitalise on others misfortune in the race and we didn’t pick up as many points as I expected.
I’m even more downbeat after quali, on pure performance we are gradually slipping back every race.
Starting 9,10 is bad news with Checo and Ocon behind with fresh rubber. AT, especially Gasly is other worldly these past few races. They did test and do a filming day here I think, so they got more data than anyone else. We need a good start, stay out of trouble and hopefully manage the softs better than in Portugal.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

The way I remember it was everyone agreed to a freeze for 2021 and a postponement of the then new 2021 regs to 2022 to save costs. Then McLaren said they were going ahead with the PU change, someone else said they had a cooling issue they needed to fix and poof the token rule was born. It allows some changes but limit teams from bankrupting themselves and still being competitive. So it wasn't a FIA initiated thing. They were just brought in to do what they do, regulate F1
