It literally cannot be worse than it currently is, I guess.

Well seemingly they have Ben Sulayem working with them, with comments that feel similar to Trumps comments at the world cup... https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12477/13586010/fernando-alonso-whats-the-latest-on-aston-martin-drivers-future-as-he-weighs-up-retirement-or-new-contract-to-stay-in-f1-in-2027

Kinda Yikes™ you read it that way.

Eh? You don't think this is a worrying comment?

No. Just seems like standard pr.
If they're going through the proper channels I don't see the issue.

@GeneralEmergency @bob they seem to use the proper channels, yes. The fact that the FIA president is quite publicly open about supporting his favourite driver (remember when he had the stewards withdraw a penalty against Alonso?) is weird though. Of course, there have been FIA presidents who favored a certain team on the grid before, though.

You mean that rumour that came out of nowhere and went nowhere?
Do you think Pirelli gave Maldonado better tyres than the rest of the grid, just because there was a rumour?
All this is, is trying to give Honda extra avenues to catch up. It's not new.
