yeah the way stella came out was seemingly quite annoyed by it it wasn't a very much like oh we didn't know that what we could do with this engine now we'll learn it seemed very much like we're not happy about this and to be honest i i kind of side on the mclaren um argument here because if i purchase a product i expect to get the instruction manual
Maybe they didn't buy the manual.
Maybe they didn't add the optional extra payment to come with a manual and an instruction booklet.
I just wing it.
Don't worry, we'll sort of see if we're clipping out immediately.
And even less practice and data.
Yeah, I think the sentiment from Formula One was they didn't want to do knee-jerk reactions after testing immediately and change everything.
They kind of got away with one.
I know, obviously, most people are unhappy, but they did kind of get away with it in the fact that we had the leaders swapping positions and things like that.
They could kind of cover it.
Obviously, the overtake graphics and things didn't do much to...
changed people's mind and just made people even more annoyed.
But for the most part, I think things like the starts and how I think Franco Colapinto's amazing reactions potentially saved them from a big discussion point, because had Colapinto launched over the back of Liam Lawson and gone into the fence or something or had a horrendous crash, this was a big concern about the race starts and why they put in these
new practice starts and things because they were worried that the speed difference and we almost had a big big moment with Colapinto and I think they got away with one there so they're going to change that so maybe Ferrari's rocket starts you'd hope that they still have them but it might be a case of them trying to tidy that all up
Particularly, well, they did that crazy start anyway, so with the whole fifth light going on for 0.0001 of a second, which made me think that they even wanted chaos.
Even something fun, like Charles Leclerc saying that was like a mushroom in Mario Kart.
They didn't want that almost comical look of the new rules.
