After a very enjoyable 3 yrs of doing stuff other than F1 I'm back in the game
Too many calls from too many teams, kept saying 'sorry no, not available, I'm building my house
' but the devil on my shoulder kept whispering 'go on, you're a sucker for a tough challenge, go on have a go see if you've still got it'
On my 4th week now and I might just get away with it, again!
As for 2019 F1 news I'm going to make a few assumption's on the Ferrari news.
Simone Resta well respected ex-Ferrari Chief Designer left the team to be Technical Director at Sauber.
The move when announced struck me as a strategic move to strengthen/rebuild Sauber to put the team in a position to boost Ferrari's own car/team/personnel development rate. I'm also assuming Simone will be back to Maranello very soon to take over Mattio's old Technical Director position
Won's article is spot on, analogy I've used a few times when trying to describe the experience of being shot at and seeing people shot at a team like Ferrari or any other big F1 team when the shooting starts from the top down is....
Every single person in a F1 team is running, running as fast, sometimes even faster than their legs can go while either trying to stay in front or trying to catch up the competitors.
If someone trips over and is shot, everyone else in the team see's this and slow's down their pace just a bit in fear of being the next person to be shot, eventually after more shootings the running pace has slowed down a bit and any championship ambitions are gone.
If on the other when someone trips up, other are there to pick them up and dust them off then everyone will try and run as fast as they can knowing there will be someone to pick them up.
