I predict there'll be a threat of rain at the start so the red cars will start on the inters.

^^ In a way all this is kinda hard on this old dog. I've been a red car fan since 1961. My older bro used to get a weekly newspaper, the competition press. After a few days he'd give it to me. That's how I kept up on F1 back in the 60ies & 70ies. There were a few years over the decades where I tuned out but Prolly the last straw was when they couldn't give Seb a car that could keep up, then because we couldn't win it all they dropped him for charles. 20 years back the team principal was French. The strategy guy was a brit. The aero guy was from So Africa. It's different now. The current group can't keep up. :-(

I can relate to your statement as an ardent fan for that many years, and why I have such contempt for blatant ineptitude that seems endemic. I've lost a lot of respect for 'Where's Waldo' - Binotto.
That said, they've enough talented people that have created a front-running car that could and should have scored many more points if it wasn't for the inexcusable deficiencies behind the pitwall.
To make it worse, Waldo won't acknowledge them. Someone has got a firm grip around his balls and apparently they're not big enough to enable him to stand up and condemn the travesty while correcting the mess.

What we don't know is what Binoto is saying behind closed doors when things go badly, is he chewing people new a$$holes or is he saying 'okay let's do better next race', if the later it's no wonder the Team isn't moving forward like it should, if the former than maybe a few heads should roll so the others get the idea that their jobs are on the line and the current situation isn't 'okay'!!

When the great Vince Lombardi retired as the active coach for the Green Bay Packers, he told the new coach that "Somebody has to be the asshole".

The truly GREAT leaders can be both the Savior and the Asshole - when each is needed.

While I do not know how much of the story is fact vs fiction, I loved the coaching story in the movie "Miracle". Blend of sly, asshole and cheerleader. The trick is knowing when to be which of those things.
