What is the problem?

Then once we accept it straight away, this is the fundamental aerodynamic issue that we didn't anticipate, but this is the issue.

And then we didn't understand the mechanism.

So next step is like, okay, how are we going to go about understanding the mechanism?

But we haven't got much time.

Now I said to everyone,

like next weekend back to work in china we cannot change the car but circuit characteristic is very different so if we don't have this specific issue i believe from what we saw in berlin we can still perform however the race after in japan three weeks time it's got that sector one high speed sequence if we don't change anything we're gonna be absolutely nowhere basically but last

by country margin.

So we cannot accept that.

I said to do nothing for Japanese Grand Prix in three weeks time is not option.

That was very, very clear.

But then also I said to them, look, to bring something to Japan, we cannot go through the normal process.

because we just simply hasn't got time right to do CFD using the wind tunnel testing evaluate then produce the parts we run out of time so I said I take the risk I accept the risk but please look back from the end of 24 where you guys produced a very very competitive car to where we are now VF25 launch

there must be some hint at some point that we are a bit complacent on certain matrix in terms of our aero oscillation issues.

So we got to be able to find some hint and then I leave it to your engineering judgment because you're all capable people who managed to develop the head out of VF24, right?

Finished essentially the fifth fastest car in 24.

So we are the same people, you are the same people.

We can do it.

So look through those sequences and then take your best engineering guesstimate and then have one or two items that we can bring to Suzuka.

And if we got it right in Suzuka, brilliant.
