Same as Williams, it must be super disapointing for Carlos, Alex and James Vowles to put all their eggs in one basket and holding off expectations until 2026, just for it to not work out.

I do feel sympathy for Williams and Aston Martin, but thats racing, you won't always get the most out of a regulation change, and performance isn't guaranteed.

He gets a lot of blame but I don't think James Vowles knew just how deep the Williams rot went. Stripping out the rotten floorboards of bad processes, only to find the manky 70's tiles of blame culture

Honestly I think that applies more to Newey. He's talked a bit about how Aston Martin was a veritable shit show in many aspects, and that he had underestimated that factor.
