In light of this, Brown believed it would have been “pointless” to create high expectations during the car’s launch, only to disappoint later. Instead, the team opted for transparency, acknowledging their struggles and the need for improvements.
“We knew changes were in the works, and then data was telling us things were going to start looking up in Austria and Silverstone, and they have,” Brown explained. “So, that’s given us a lot of confidence that what we’re seeing in data is correlating to the track, whether that’s good data or bad data.”
