This is so 100% true.

I've been saying this since Todt left - they're hosed until they can get rid of all the under-qualified Italians that Montezemolo hired simply because they're Italian.

I hate Red Bull for their constant whinging. Not to deny that they aren't as fast as Merc but at least other teams target a fight a few months into the dev cycle. If Red Bull don't have an obviously dominant car they just go "Oh well game over guess we don't win life is really unfair for us lets change the rules"

Worst Team.

That literally describes every team.

How many actually useful, racing speed laps have Mclaren done in testing? Like I know there was a couple of times they had 50 odd laps, but atleast half of them were in/out laps or way off the pace. Meanwhile Merc have been doing race-sims since the first test. The mileage disadvantage they are up against now (especially when its the only Honda team) is going to gently caress them so bad. Isn't it 4 engines this year?? By like Monaco they will be getting grid penalties!

One can hope.

I think it's important to remember that VdG already paid Sauber last year, with the intention that he was going to drive this year. Further, his main sponsor is likely his wife's billionaire father.

So Sauber is not just loving him over, they're literally loving over his family. Only thing they haven't done at this point is literally hosed his wife (I think?). That's probably the motivation to try to screw them over so hard.

like i don't disagree that sauber hosed over van der garde, that fact isn't up for he debate, and he clearly deserves any money he paid back plus damages. but trying to force his way into a race seat, assuming it's not a negotiating tactic, is beyond stupid.

Yeah but it might just also be his father in law wanting to gently caress them over as hard as he can for having the audacity to steal from him.

He will after 17 cars start, there's a million crashes and Magnussen wins the only race of this McLaren Honda partnership.

Also race is stopped on lap 37 since literally every car has crashed or had an engine failure.
