Adrian Newey says Aston Martin's F1 ambitions may be hampered by 'weak tools'

That's not a very nice thing to call Lance
- Lol, that is actually addressed in the article
  He added that he felt that Lance Stroll, the son of team owner Lawrence, "has an unfairly bad rap, on average", adding: "Any driver who gets to Formula 1 is clearly very good, but I think Lance is much better than people who've been very poor."
  Seems like that's the kindest thing he could say about him, "much better than people who've been very poor"
  
  That's worthy of the 'say something nice about Lance Stroll' segment on the Midfield Podcast.
  
  Any driver who gets to Formula 1 is clearly very good
  Good at paying off the second seat drivers in the junior series to back off the competition to help Lance.
I was confused at first because I thought they'd spent literal billions building the best factory and wind tunnel on the grid, but apparently they forgot something:
Newey said: "It's fair to say that some of our tools are weak. Particularly the driver-in-the-loop simulator needs a lot of work because it's not correlating at all at the moment, which is a fundamental research tool."
- I honestly thought he was going to lament a lack of drafting tables
  
  “Pencils man, proper fucking pencils.” Newey freaking out when finding only HB.
Oh no the nepo-company has a bad work environment? Oh dear…🍿
