bringing the blown rear wing which has been the first step to get there but blown diffuser is obviously going to take a bit longer to come on board so I think it was they were behind development but it wasn't just that they hadn't brought aggressive upgrades it was about fundamental changes to a car which you couldn't introduce in a rush

He had a broken roll bar.

Yes.

The team found afterwards.

So having made this big thing about new car and it's all perfect, all sorted, he then had a mechanical problem, which I think...

That may be contributed, having seen Weber win those two races, you then lose out on pole position with your new chassis.

You think, oh, maybe something's going on here.

I think for a second, Christian thought I can sort this out afterwards because you get collisions and things happen and drivers can, you pull the drivers into the office afterwards, you get it cleared up and you present to the public a unified front.

But from what I understand, the second Vettel walked out of the car and did his twiddling of the things, you weren't going to keep that under wraps.

And then you put it against the backdrop of the factions within the team, the Team Vettel v Team Webber, all those perceptions, Vettel feeling that everything was working against him, that he should naturally be ahead, for example.

So against all that whole backdrop...

It all exploded at that point, I think.

So I think the second Vettel blew it into the public with his sign of this wasn't straightforward, you could no longer present a unified front.

I think the thing was marching rapidly forwards at that point.

Yeah, we've got two parallel paths being plotted here.

You've got the public path of what...

the image they want to portray to us as the media at the time, you know, it's very early social media.

So they weren't all over Tik TOK and YouTube and no, you still need to still needed, still needed to use the media.

And I think it was fairly obvious.

I mean, we would have loved them to the water continue and background and them to hate each other and massive fallout.
