How difficult is it to say: “ there’s no favouritism within the team but we do recognise the bad luck and bad management of George’s garage, we’re working with him so the communication and our performance improves for the benefit of George and for the team” bye
Not favouritism, not incompetence then what is it?? Not supporting your driver is a choice. Not going to celebrate your driver 100th race where he is on a podium a choice. The tp going on the podium and celebrating while one of your driver lost points because of the team's
🚨 James Allison shuts down team favouritism narrative:
🗣️"Because people are very invested in the people that they support, and they want their driver to prosper above all others. All I can say is if you ever wanted that feeling of favouritism, to understand where it sits on our psyche, you'd need to come and work in a team, because if you're lucky enough to come and work in a team, you would instantly be imbued with the culture of that team, and you would understand how utterly alien that thought is to anyone in the team and when we hear it, it's like we're hearing another language, it's an argument that you can never win because both sides of it are just completely divorced from one another"
"Because it is in all of our interest that both our drivers prosper and actually we're ambivalent about which one is better than the other, we want a 1-2 in every race and we don't care the order. The only point where we would start to have an opinion is if one driver is mathematically incapable now of winning a championship and the other driver is in a fight with a third party driver, at that point, the team has a right to an opinion, but up until that point we just want both our players to be right up there every single race"
"Because our main championship, weirdly, is not the Drivers' championship, it's the constructors' championship. If we're lucky enough to win a bonus, we win it on the basis of the Constructors position, not the drivers, we don't get anything for that. So everything we care about is Constructors oriented and favouritism makes zero sense to us in that respect. We just want maximum points from both the drivers at all times"
@MercedesAMGPCF1 No one believes them lol, they have destroyed any reputation they had, and they would follow Torger's orders anyway, hope George win the WDC and they lose the WCC
@MercedesAMGPCF1 Out of seven races, his car broke down six times. The engineers lie and hide strategy plans during races. No one shows up to celebrate with him on the podium. After his DNF in Canada, the team even claimed it was a great week for the group.
