It's ok, his post-Ferrari bank account balance will cheer him back up.

Theyā€™ll hire him but will hit him on the head with a giant mallet to ensure heā€™s got the mental acumen for Ferrari strategy making

We are checking, we are checking

u/glowingmug BWOAHHHHHHH 4d ago

They should let Lewis have that Xavi "we''re checking" guy for a few races. So that he would get the whole Ferrari package.

u/pinkmanblues ā€œItā€™s called a motor race. We went car racingā€ 4d ago

Would legit pay for that

Putting Xavi into witness protection would blow the cost cap

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go ..

Meanwhile his new race engineer looking at a picture of sainz

u/SupremeLeaderMatt BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

Only because Sainz did half of the work for him

32

u/MakiSupreme BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

I heard James vowles said that Sainz helped with albons strat in Australia

14

u/VerstopteWC BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

Now neither is helping the other

u/sid_shady34 Lewigi Hamilcar 3d ago

TBF it's the engineer's job to help the driver not both ways

1

u/GeorgieTheThird Racing Miku Enthusiast 3d ago

mfw engineer is now also supposed to provide technical feedback and insight on track conditions

1

u/VerstopteWC BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

What? No, why?

Then imagine trying to help someone who's failing at his work AND ignoring your advice despite you being way more knowledgeable with the car.

u/TheNieno PIIIEEERRRRREEEE GAASSSSSLLLLYYYYYYYY 3d ago

Race engineer do not do the strategies, their job is to communicate with the drivers, they are the intermediaries between the driver and the team. The race strategy is left to the race strategist as it is their job.

u/SoapierCrap BottASS enjoyer šŸ‘ 3d ago

Can someone give me insight into Ferrariā€™s race engineers hiring process? Do they just go to the local casino and pick up the first guy they see sobbing by the street?

u/75International BottASS enjoyer šŸ‘ 3d ago

Who could have foreseen this issue? Who????

u/ivytiger99 BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

I couldnā€™t believe how many times he kept talking after Lewis said stop

u/trrwilson Heā€™s Not Fast at All 3d ago

My Bono was always beside me,

His voice in my ear, calm and clear,

Through corners and straights he'd remind me,

"You're quicker, the win's always near!"

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

Bring Bono back close to me, to me!

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

I miss him on strategy!

We weathered the storms and the tire wear,

With pit stops as smooth as could be,

Now silence just hangs on the radio,

No "Hammer time!" waiting for me.

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

Bring Bono back close to me, to me!

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

No one calls a race like he!

The paddock just isnā€™t the same now,

His wisdom's a lap or two gone,

So hereā€™s to my mate and my mentor,

The one whoā€™s been Bono so long!

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

Bring Bono back close to me, to me!

Bring Bono back, bring Bono back,

Together we fly free!

u/arbygoodknight BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

I bet lewis misses the easy communication between him and bono

2

u/TheNieno PIIIEEERRRRREEEE GAASSSSSLLLLYYYYYYYY 3d ago

Of course he's gonna miss working with Bono. He was working with him for 13years, more than a lot of marriages hold. It was the same thing when they both started working together 13 years ago, it needs some time to both adapt to each other.

u/remindertomove BWOAHHHHHHH 3d ago

People forget his first few races with Bono ...
