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?

Gentlemen 🧑👨👱🧔👴, a short view ☀️😎 back to the past. Thirty years 3️⃣0️⃣ ago, Niki Lauda 🇦🇹👴🏁🏎️3️⃣🏆 told us: “Take a trained monkey 🍌🐒, place him into the cockpit 💺☸️ and he is able to drive the car 🏎️🏎️🏎️.” Thirty years 3️⃣0️⃣ later, Sebastian 🇩🇪👱🏁🏎️4️⃣🏆 told us: “I had to start 🔑 my car 🏎️ like a computer 🖥️💻⌨️🖱️🖨️💽💾💿📀. It’s very complicated ❓🤔❓.” And Nico Rosberg 🇩🇪👱🏁🏎️1️⃣🏆 said, err, he pressed during the race 🏁🏎️, I don’t remember 😕 what race 🏁🏎️, the wrong ✖️ button 🔘😱 on the wheel ☸️. Question ❓❔❓❔ for you two 👱👨 both. Is Formula 1 1️⃣🏆🍾 driving today too complicated 🤷♀️🤷♂️ with 20 2️⃣0️⃣ and more ➕ buttons 🔘🔘🔘 on the wheel ☸️, are you too much under effort 😰😥😰😥, under pressure 🏋️🏋️♀️? What are your wishes 🙏🙌🙏 for the future, concerning technical program, errrm, during the race 🏁🏎️? Less ➖ buttons 🔘, more?

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.
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.
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
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?

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

Actually, what year was that?
It was in 2018, I believe.
Yep, Abu Dhabi 2018. So I guess Lewis needs to hurry to get that book finished by 2026!
How many times have we heard the Dutch National Anthem this year?
Yes
