So by definition, you will have more errors.

And I think it's absolutely nonsense to say that that's a trait, that he's an error-prone driver.

He's not.

He's a driver that has spent years pulling results out of a car that didn't quite deserve it.

And that ability to drive it on the edge is what's enabled them to do that.

But that will sometimes bite you.

And I don't think that's a deserved criticism.

It's just an approach.

Well, it's a notoriously politically volatile place, isn't it?

And the team principle is always under enormous and ridiculous pressure, really.

And it's something fundamentally flawed about the structure at the top of the team that the team principle is always under this amount of pressure.
