Seems like Mercedes would have done well to make that decision a few months ago imo.

Still, I wonder if this year they're just going to blast past the cost cap to perfect the car and not give a single poo poo how it impacts development next year.

They would be better off taking the McLaren strategy to intentionally come in last place so they get the most CFD and tunnel time.

2024 is going to be Big Zak's year.

A bit like turning up to a Halloween party dressed as John Wayne Gacy when everybody else has kept it PG-13.

This imagery had me giggling like an idiot and I wanted to let you know I appreciated it.


It also made me realize that Zak Brown would make the best Gacy at an F1 Halloween party.

Max has the right idea. You go too slow and you'll build in complacency and eventually lose a title to a German midfielder.

They managed to be poo poo the last years with a bad engine, an okay engine and now a good engine so signs point to yes.

instead of investing their time and money into designing a competitive car they spent that time and money implementing a way to have real-time rotating sponsor ads on their car.

They're sandbagging to get the most CFD and tunnel time so when their new windtunnel comes online they can get the most out of it and make a truly dominant car.
