Hello; Yes, to this. When the lights go out, he screeches for the entire first lap.
What’s painful is watching teams like HAAS just scraping by. I feel that the Andrettis are better suited financially to be in F1 but there are hard politics at play keeping them from joining.
Frankly, I feel sorry for Haas, because I do like them. It's a small team that's struggling to survive in the big boys' league. And it's American, in a world dominated by Europeans. That endears it to me. It puts me in mind of a plucky little dog; you can't help loving it. And I like Gunther; he seems like a nice, likable kind of guy. I do wish him and his team all the best and would feel a bit sad if they had to leave F1.
I think both HAAS and Williams have shown that they really don’t belong in F1. HAAS has a hard time developing their cars through the year if they get a flat tire during preseason testing. It takes money away from their yearly budget. I’m sure that the way HAAS performs they are recycling tires. Williams debacle in the 2019 preseason was one of the most embarrassing things that I’ve seen happen in modern history to an F1 team other than the McLaren/Ferrari gate. Even Ferraris engine debacle wasn’t as bad. They just found loopholes and exploited them and where punished for it because they where on the cusp of outperforming the at the time darling MB. And Williams hasn’t recovered from that either. With as a great history Williams has(only 2nd to Ferrari in most championship wins), I’d bow out and let someone else come in. They will not be fighting for any championships, they won’t regain their old glory, and even after ‘26 they’ll be relegated to the back of the field. I really think they need to consider closing shop.
I think Gene is using the F1 team as a write off. Which I would too. Offset any taxes from the NASCAR team which is successful. Now when it comes to Williams I don’t think they are in solid footing. As early as Jan of this year Dorilton was looking for investors and was open to the idea of selling the team. I’m thinking that they will be sold sooner rather then later, and let’s say that F1 relents and allows for Andretti to come in. If he buys the outfit there will definitely be a name change.
Let’s be brutally honest. Neither of those two teams can afford Adrian. If either team did hire him, that team would consist of one proper F1 car and a go kart. But let’s look at this with a magnifying glass. How long and what did it take for RB and Adrian to dethrone MB?
True Adrian has been with RB since 06. They only had 3 wins before the hybrid era started in ‘14. After that RB didn’t win another team championship again until ground effects where introduced.
