re: 2024 Formula 1 season Thread

So, a couple of days ago a journo asked Danny if he would go so far as to ask for a new chassis, and he answered in the affirmative. "Before we just tell me I'm shite, let's at least get that sorted and put everything to bed."



Lo and behold, RB suddenly announces that Danny will get a new chassis in China. Alan Permane took pains to explain that the chassis was already being built, that it wasn't meant for Danny specifically, and that there's nothing wrong with his current car. They just want him to shut up about the equipment.

Permane: "For me the chassis is a big lump of carbon that we attach the suspension to, attach an engine to, and a gearbox to,” he said. “It's really ever so unlikely that there are performance issues with the chassis. However, we have a new one coming through, it makes sense at all levels to give that to Daniel, not least that Yuki is super happy and super comfortable where he is. We don't have a preference on drivers. With Daniel maybe it's good for him to just put that completely to bed, that there any there any issues with the car.”
