If Laurent can do it, or are there some limitations there?

Or has he got the freedom to do it?

Or is it a team that is going to get slowed down by the need to approve processes?

And when it comes to fighting in F1 commission meetings for rule changes and...

Fighting to win your hand or diverting your rivals to look in one direction and you're chasing another or protesting a rival to cause annoyances and get stuff off their car.

I think these are the things.

Because we know Christian last year protested Mercedes twice, protested George Russell two times last year.

And I'm absolutely convinced...

You look at China this year with the Mercedes front wing that was broken and in theory was against the regulations because it was flapping too much.

None of the teams protested.

I reckon Horn may well have had a go.

But Horner didn't care if that team was loved or hated or how he was loved or hated in the paddock.

What he cared about was winning and being successful.

And success meant commercially and on track.

And this was his absolute driving force.

And he created this kind of a lean, mean racing machine that was absolutely obsessed with this, with all the challenges that came to it.

He didn't go out to make a team that was the most popular, that was the most loved.

That everyone would walk into paddock and back slaps and all that sort of thing.

But I think also there is an element that if you are a team that people get annoyed by and angst by, then that creates the friction that generates the common enemy approach.

Because it was definitely something that gave Red Bull a focus was when they're going up against Mercedes.
