State of the team.
The biggest Issue I see is that at power tracks- we are horrible. We have access to the same PU as the team that does the absolute best at power circuits, and have shown multiple times that the chassis we have is quite a bit ahead of the other midfielders. What we have here, quite clearly, is a failure to understand how to utilize the current power units. The only other Mercedes customer who is doing worse is doing so because their chassis is absolute garbage, and would be lauded as the absolute worst chassis on the grid if Aston weren't there. It feels like our engineers are not getting the battery deployment done right even at a basic level. When Audi is giving you trouble in their first year at power tracks, it points to a very deep problem in our deployment.
