This is literally how McLaren will end the season lol.
Don't give up yet. Although it would be easier for Zak to prioritize the WDC if the Title Compensation was close to the WCC.
I am curious does papaya rules differ from pawpaw rules? I ask cause if in the future, F1 races here, we don't have papaya, we have great pawpaw..
Look, I’m just happy we haven’t transitioned into Mango, Guava, or Passion Rules.
What is whathisname, the CEO of the PawPaws embarrassed about? Why not just publish the pdf listing the rules? So we know, and if there are a difference between papaya and pawpaw rules, like they do for scamware, this product does XYZ, some brand does not anything..
To be formally announced on Tuesday, but BBC reporting that Adrian Newey has signed a five-year contract worth upwards of £150m with Aston Martin.

I wonder how much is truly pencil and how much is CAD.
I just wish daddy stroll would grow a pair in the underpants dept, do what he needs to do, and hire 2 decent drivers, spend the money on decent drivers, having the "best" engineers, and sub par talent drivers, really why?
I hear you. I'm hopeful that AMR will get it together. I've always made it clear in here I'm a WCC guy above all else. More specifically a Honda PU guy.
Let's see where Max is in 2026.
I want to see action, teams and drivers, compete, what I hate is the whiny "so and so is doing this.." to mommy FIA, keeping drivers who are beyond their prime, or simply just not competent or safe, tarnishes the sport.. I really hope Granddad Newey does deliver, but really with the talent he has, fool's errand.. Max to AM, more than likely in 2026, 2nd of 2 drivers, or 1st... Hopefully to sit 1st chair to some hot snot from F2.. Not a pensioner from Spain, or worse junior stroll..
It is all CAD but Newey is old school in terms of sketching out his idea's before they are turned into working models etc. Plus he doesn't design it all and I'd imagine a lot of his feedback and direction acts as inspiration to his team to come up with the actual designs.
I don't think Lance will be driving there for many more season's either if Adrians cars are not both reaching their potential. Ideally they need a young talent who is fast from the off to work alongside Fernando, not 5 places behind him in every event.
WOW! Maybe a move into the front office there?
I wonder if Newey cold eventually turn his drawings into a book one day. I'd buy a copy.
Every move Lawrence Stroll has made - including this one - is for Lance. He truly believes his son can be WDC if given the right equipment and staff and facilities behind him.
If Alonso starts winning with the AMR25 and AMR26 and Lance does not, you will see the car changed to suit Lance's driving style, even if that means Alonso's performance suffers because of it.
When asked during the PC he did state that "His quiet time alone with his drawing table was still the most important to him." The best of both generations.
My take from the PC was a hybrid front office. The Managing Technical Partner title would fit in that slot.
If he ever released a composition of drawings it would be very interesting to see what would and would not be included....
Then I give up, Stroll cannot compete against the F2/F3 drivers that are 17/18/19 yrs old, and if Daddy thinks that, then one should have questions... Stroll WDC? World Dunce Champion, but to beat Kimi A, or Drugovich or or or George.. I think Granddad Newey made a financial decision, not a sporting decision, he went for the $$.. F1 be damned.. But maybe Junior will win a race, 2 or 3, maybe the car is legit throughout the season, but the title, hahaha, NO, Junior has more chance winning a title in Chess than F1..
Interesting admission from Newey on the High Performance podcast as to why he went to Aston Martin, they have not been successful in the past and that has was his criteria for picking his next challenge. It seems Ferrari was not enough of a challenge but taking AM (Jordan) to the title is a huge pull for him. I'd imagine Eddie would have played a part in convincing him too as he'd be a part of that story.
I get that.
When I used to play F1 racing games I'd always start with a lower team and try to get them wins.
