And as soon as I think we talked about this before, as soon as those new people that have been brought in,

have it explained to them that what they're watching isn't what they think they're watching, I think that disappears quite quickly.

So you need something sustainable.

You need something that is actually authentic and genuine.

And this direction that we've taken has made that not possible.

Basically, there's not enough...

Energy in a battery, it's not dense enough to be able to use it in that way.

So when you combine it with an internal combustion engine and downforce, the drag that you get off a single seater with a load of downforce on it, then yeah, obviously the quickest way to use that over a lap is to just use a load of it at the start of the straight and

which means that in order to have that available to you, you have to back off through some of the key corners, which is just, A, that's a nonsense, and then, B, there's other implications on closing speeds, all the things that we're already very familiar with from the season.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't think we need to slavishly copy the past.

I think we can just correct the errors that have been made and take it, revert the key elements back so that the racing is more authentic.

I think that's all that needs to be done.

And I think if that was done...

Quickly and sharply, I think the automotives would still be around.

It doesn't need them to be around anyway, as you've pointed out, but it's nice to have them.

Mercedes is one third stake in the team that's got the Mercedes name.

Honda is an interesting case study because it's a different basis on which they've done it in the past.

They've almost done it as a consultant, a contracted consultant by Aston Martin.

So there's all sorts of different models.
