You were watching the McLaren documentary where they went from a plan of having two cars ready by launch to having to wheel the one non-functional car back to the shop to actually put suspension in it and missed the shakedown right?

You were watching the McLaren documentary where they said from very beginning that they were behind schedule and likely wouldn't be able to achieve said plan, right? The same documentary were literally no meeting seemed anything close to a "shitshow," right?

the view of the lake is actually nice, but all of the offices are under ground and set back. The poor guys in IT seem to be in the basement, and when I was there they were being forced to watch free practice on two big TVs

I suspect the rules about filming in the paddock and not being able to use race footage came into play so they only actually had permission to film up to the first race and use that one old clip. You know if they had had the choice then there would have been a hell of a lot of old footage of the, winning races in there. Felt like they planned to put a Senna clip in there after the seat fitting guy brought him up.

Everytime Stoffle appeared on the screen I just skipped ahead 4 minutes.

Also the documentary isn't even available in a lot of countries despite being an Amazon production. It seems like nothing went right.

Good things like tax fraud and telling drivers to deliberately crash

E: Also lol that it's basically what Lewis did with his jet but wasn't stupid enough to put the shell company in his own name

In summary: Lewis Hamilton is smarter than Flavio Briatore at tax evasion

He won't even be formally sentenced. He has a few more appeals to go and by then the statute of limitations will have passed because his lawyers will have stalled for as long as possible. This is unironically how Italian courts work.

From reading F1 history and watching documentaries on plane crashes, I don't know how Italy exists in western Europe. I'm pretty sure Somalia has a more respectable and stable government and judicial system. Not to mention that time they arrested geologists for murder after not predicting an earthquake with 100% accuracy.
