I think, you know,

If we look at this rule set, Mercedes probably ended up with a rule set that's quite advantageous to their skill set and Toto Wolff I think is a good example of somebody who's been quite politically astute in his career.

So I think it still does apply but it's not quite that romanticised version that we knew 10-15 years ago.

Well, and we've seen that with the starts issue this year.

You know, we were both in that press conference in China where he just said, I consider the matter closed.

You know, we raised it last year.

You know, they were very vocal about it behind the scenes.

And then it was just a open, you know, open shut case.

I think you're right.

Fred doesn't come across as this very bombastic Christian Horne or Toto will figure, but there's actually kind of a steely response.

political operator behind there and I actually think he's gone into the Ferrari ecosystem and worked quite well because he's an outsider but still has that understanding of it so I think he's I know we're going to dish some points out for these guys later but he's maybe a left field one for a good haul of points in this category

I think Loudon's a really good left-field shout.

That was a tough job to get Cadillac in the way that it showed a degree of operating with that political analysis in mind.

And coming from his background as well, not a heavyweight, quote-unquote, in terms of the team he was at before, but obviously knows the paddock, knew exactly how to operate, when at one point it was a pretty unpopular proposition being in charge of that operation.

Yeah.

So yeah, I might put him third for me, but I don't know how we want to split it up.

Yeah.

For me, for me, it's Wolf would be number one, just longevity helps there as well.

He's been around for so long, but he's also, he's, you know, he's managed, he's kind of navigated Mercedes through, you know, now a third regulation cycle.

And as always, it just always feels like he's in the thick of it, doesn't it?
