Engine.
Because the engine then with the two drivers, we end up doing the same because we are not stupid.
If we see your teammate doing something that works, you copy it.
And if he sees you doing something with your car or with your engine, it works.
Same case is Mercedes engines.
If I see
George Orlando doing, Orlando has a different gearbox, but Alpine and Mercedes and me doing certain gear, I'm gonna copy Alpine and Mercedes and vice versa.
So you can clearly tell if it's a Mercedes gearbox coming,
if it's a McLaren gearbox, or if it's a Red Bull, or if it's a Ferrari, if it's an Audi, or if it's a Honda.
And this, I would say, a year ago, you close your eyes, you wouldn't be able to differentiate who's coming.
And now, when they approach 1010, you can just, after two minutes, you understand who's coming.
At the beginning, yes, I think there will be different solutions to different problems, different approach by all the teams, and we will see who's got it right.
I said it last week in another interview, I think the key of the new set of regulations is going to be integrating driver, gearbox, and drivability all together.
It's not saying we need to do it this way and the driver needs to adapt, or we need to do it that way.
the driver wants to do it this way and the
The EU needs to adapt.
I think it's how do we all agree in one thing and commit to it.
And do you all agree in one trajectory?
Not yet.
We need to find which solution and which direction is right.
