As has been said without this brake/tyre cooling installation of the papayas is grinding all the other teams; Ferrari seems more lost than ever with millions being spent to no avail just taking a trip up the garden path. Think of what we could do with that money my friend

How funny would it be if someone at Ferrari had the ability to brake his car from the pit lane and they just fucked with him until he retires knowing full well he is a complete dud behind the wheel.

I'd argue they arent. You pull Rob Marshall from that team, and they go back to being back markers.

Yes, but given the change to the braking rules, their advantage there goes away. Next year, otherwise, is a big unknown. For all you know, Ford/RB could be leading the pack in a big way. I think people are underestimating Ford, and RB have poached away all the MB engineers who created a motor that couldnt be beaten for 8 years, as well as all of the Honda engineers. It's a hydra of some of the best engineering out there.

Agnostic of Marshall, though, the team would be nowhere, and Pia and Nor would be fighting each other for 15th place since even when their car was half decent neither of them achieved anything. And even now with the most dominant car of this regulation cycle, they arent lighting up the stats the way they should be. Car is insanely fast on every track for both drivers, and there is no tire deg.

Yep, next year is a big unknown. Thankfully, this year is crystal clear...the MCL39 is the class of the field.

Just in time for Spa sprint race at 11am tomorrow, 12pm Europe time using their allotted new Merc engines and turbos (as if they really need them with their tyre cooling advantage).

Your post sounds like a sentence from the 'Holy Bible (actually like BS)

The downfall always comes after the glory (!)
Also for the McLaren Team...
