Thanks Ants posted:Seidl also has history with the Audi group and the chance to return to Germany probably appealed as well Oh for sure, and it (officially) seems Siedl was offered Audi over summer so probably even if this Ferrari thing is true would likely already have been signed, but it is still hilarious to think that you could be headhunted by the most storied and one of the best resourced, (theoretically) in the race for the championship this year F1 teams and be like 'lol nope' and do a 180 to go build up a currently mid-tier-at-best team because gently caress that whole working environment.

Thanks Ants posted:Seidl also has history with the Audi group and the chance to return to Germany probably appealed as well as soon as VW started making noises about entering F1 my immediate thought was that every team who picked up key staff from their LMP/WRC programs should be very worried

Pirate Radar posted:Then when a bad call leads to a crash that puts Leclerc’s eye out, people will ask who did it to him, and he’ll have to say “No one! No one pit me on the wrong lap! No one picked the wrong tire strategy!” Not a reference I expected in this, the so-claimed worst thread. Keep Leclerc away from the wine and tell him not to trust Greeks?

Appreciate Mclaren sticking with a nearly identical name so that I can remember who their team principle is.

I honestly feel bad for fans of every other team because they're gonna have to watch Ferrari win 22 races next year. I'll love it, but I imagine everyone else will hate it.
