It couldn't say that.
It couldn't treat it as a transition.
It had to have the hangover year and then realize, oh, but by that time, so much damage has been done.
People are looking elsewhere.
The team's confidence is shaken.
Even Flavio is not going to be there that much longer in the first iteration.
In hindsight, what you do at that point is you go, we're just going to chill till we invent another Schumacher with Fernando Alonso in five years' time.
But that is not an option.
They have to turn up for five years and do something else.
adapting insofar as kind of operating like a team that's going to be fighting for a podium yeah yeah i think so there's no sign whatsoever that it's a team that's going right we've worked out how we can turn these two into championship challenging drivers that's what we can now go into 97 achieving they're still miles off the pace like you get some perky bits burgers obviously so good at hockenheim with the driving style that demands he has a great japanese grand prix pace wise after knocking his wing off on damon hill and came back to fourth that's very impressive speed wise and
but it does feel a little bit like the drivers are quick at the circuits they can be bothered to be quick at.
Like Alessi has quite a good Monza, but he still loses to Schumacher by the end of that race because he can't do the relentless pace in the middle of it.
And then...
As that year goes on, and McLaren gets better and better as well, setting up the future that it's going to have, and Ferrari's finding its way with Schumacher, Benetton's doing all right, but its battle is now with those teams to not be pushed right off the podium, even right out of the points.
So yeah, it's calmer-ish.
But even then, you get to Suzuka.
A year before, Alessi has this beautiful race for Ferrari, maybe his best in F1.
This time around, 96 ends with him qualifying abysmally badly and stacking it massively at the first corner.
And that's not progress on the start of the year.
Now, we talk about a triumvirate, but we think of a duo because it's always Braun who's appearing in the interviews, saying the iconic things to Michael to set up a strategy.
