I've been using Delta Chat for the last few weeks, its very similar to WhatsApp, but decentralised... Works very well, available on android & ios, definitely worth a look, as it could be good for your use case..
McLaren seem to have been doing a better job all around over the last couple months, there's a stable, relaxed, almost, atmosphere around the team. Whereas Redbull have had a bit of controversy, infighting, & the loss of Adrian Newey's input, seems to be having an effect already...maybe.
If Christian Hornee had kept his phone zipped up, then things may have been very different....🤷🏻♂️
You're right this isn't Reddit, and whilst my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek, it still remains that Mick did around £3m worth of damage to his car in 2022.
Crashing heavily in Jeddah at the start of the season, for second time, having done so the previous season... Then splitting his car in half at Monaco.....& in the second half of the season had a big shunt into the barriers during FP1 in Japan (October 2022), on an in lap....
Whilst he did improve, he's been out of an F1 car for over 18months, & would probably not be the best option....
Renault probably should sell up, already giving up on the engine side anyway, are they giving up on their brand also, dropping a merc engine in an Alpine isn't the answer...
You're spot on there, at some point Stroll Snr is going to have make the tough decision, but necessary one, if the team are realise their ambition's.
