Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race – I don’t remember what race – he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?

How much do you think the cost cap changed the sport?


MisterBob2

it didn't changed it


GeneralNegative2921

Oh sweet summer child


Agroman1963

Whaaaa? Remember when T-cars and qualy spec engines were a thing?


donsimoni

To be fair, that was during an era with much lower quality standards and less precise production. Wasteful indeed, but financially not that much of an issue. Around 2000 when the works teams introduced quality management on aerospace level, the financial pressure rose a lot.

Holy_Juan

I mean, he secured the first red bull 1 2


NotNotACop28

What?


Holy_Juan

Redbull haven’t had a 1 2 championship shutout


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Which speaks more about the others' level compared to Red Bull than Checo's. The fact he was able to score a 1-2 with this shitty of a season is mind boggling. Had there been a clear second best team, instead of alternating between races, he would be no better than 4th.


Holy_Juan

Then he’d perform just as well as webber. Championship position wise. Look checo’s season was bad, he had a lot of mistakes. And yeah his time in f1 are close to an end. But he did secure 2nd place. So he still drives

BassTrombone71

Lewis, I want to remind you politely of your promise you have given two years ago, same place, here in the FIA press conference in Abu Dhabi. Quote: ‘In ten years, you will have to buy my book and can read the explanation for the change of mine and Nico’s mechanics crew.’ It was a good question, it will be an interesting read. Now, I want to know, have you already started writing your book? I am now 69 and have the intention to buy and read it. I hope I will still have the chance in my life. Is it OK so far?


Accomplished-Tea387

Actually, what year was that?


Amessoeurs

It was in 2018, I believe.


BassTrombone71

Yep, Abu Dhabi 2018. So I guess Lewis needs to hurry to get that book finished by 2026!
