“Ambivalent” he says as if we can’t see with our own damn eyes the reaction to Kimi’s pole vs George’s be sooooo fucking serious right now. If you’re going to lie to peoples faces at least make it convincing
🚨 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"
🇪🇸 | George on the strategy confusion:
“It was clear to me that lewis was going for the 3-stop, but then we also pitted early to cover him, but staying on the 2-stop. So I was not really sure what I needed to do and how I needed to drive to get the the best result. And in the end, the pace was not so strong.
I think I would have been better going to the 3-stop like lewis."

💬 "We always say that if it can’t be one of our two drivers then we hope it is Lewis. He drove a great race and is a fully deserving winner" - Toto Wolff.
The latest from Toto, George and Kimi from Barcelona.
kimis car breaks down and suddenly toto wants to talk about reliability issues costing points and fixing them. wow groundbreaking, definitely didn't happen anytime this year before
🇪🇸 | Toto Wolff once again:
“We tried to race fair in the team game, but maybe that cost us the win today. They raced each other quite hard. I think we lost about four or five or six seconds to lose. Then, obviously, with the VSC, it changed the order.”

Toto Wolff to Sky Germany: "First congratulation to Lewis, he deserves the win today. He was very fast today.
In regards to us, we might have played the team game too much and lost the win because of that. We need to analyse it…"
