carlossainz55 Goodweekend Goodcars Goodwood!
okay. not that anyone asked but here's My Take on the williams torment nexus
honestly a communication breakdown on the pit wall
similar to vegas last year actually, with charles told carlos wouldn't overtake and carlos not actually told that. alex's engineer was like "go ahead" when alex said he could overtake, but carlos was told the opposite thing
the real things that fucked up carlos's race were a) the regular ass first lap incident in turn 3 and the resultant damage; b) building a 3sec gap so the team could double stack for inters (didn't happen) and then coming out behind hulk as a result; c) the timing of the vsc; d) team using his new mediums for the sprint
his pace was good despite the damage (very positive)
good to get the growing pains out now while they're fighting for p5-p9 than when they're fighting for p1
alex mostly blameless and also extremely brave and strong in p5!!!
the synchronized pass on merc + ferrari at the same time was absolutely gorgeous i'm so happy
honestly when the main reason you end up behind the ferraris (and he might've had the pace to get kimi) is because of vsc timing and some damage, that's still honestly a good race
carlossainz55 Cannes, it’s been a pleasure 💫

I am absolutely impressed by the way Alex and Carlos were so openly honest about the things they both are bringing to the table.
Carlos admitting that he did not expect for Alex to be this sensitive on some aspects of the car, so much so that during meeting he told engineers to ask Aex directly about some things because he knew he would feel them better and have a better feedback.
Alex admitting that Carlos being here put him in a completely different mentality, whereas last year he would fly over some problems to not overload the team, this time he feels like he can talk about any little problem he finds.
That’s a good fucking team for you, honestly. Regardless of the results, that’s exactly how a team should work, strengthening each other.
arm touch, handshake and intense eye contact,,, too much too handle
