      While more complicated than just that, it is true that Newey was against the current development direction of the car according to paddock rumours.

        Yeah but didn’t that same rumor state that he barely had any involvement in the '23 car that turned out to be one of the most dominant cars ever?

    What I find interesting is that other teams (than McLaren and Red Bull) might actually start to help McLaren/Norris in the WDC race as it currently looks like other teams might steal more points from Red Bull rather than McLaren.
