In sport, winning often treats everything, raising the mood in the team as McLaren began to win regularly. Thin says that success helps “push the team forward”, but it adds that it is important for everyone to understand that they cannot rest on their glories.
“F1 is a very complex sport and things can get worse,” he says. “When you celebrate success, you still have to pay reliability, pay performance, and pay every opportunity to score points.
“You must be modest, but the work in the end in F1 is a privilege because you are at the top of motorsport. You can never expect a result: the result is the result of the work you have put. We ask everyone to avoid positive or negative noise and focus on what we need to do as making, which gives Lando and Oscar the best equipment and every race.”
The last McLaren title came in 1998 in a different era of F1, with almost limited spending. The teams now have a maximum cost (this year is 104 million pounds), as many of the Eynne efforts are spent on working on how to “extract every amount of performance for each pound.”
“It is a truly exciting challenge. This means that the mental strength you put is a competitive discrimination against others. You have to look at all angles of how to spend your money and your focus.”
For example, he must decide between spending money to build a reserves of spare parts in the event of accidents against the development of promotions, and the amount of effort in developing the car for 2026, when F1 is subject to a major organizational change with the new structure rules and energy theme.
“We enjoy the challenge of organizing changes, because it gives the opportunity to reset sports,” he says.
Re -appointment is not always good news for the top F1: After the 2008 Hamilton title, the 2009 McLaren’s main list left McLaren struggling to compete at the sharp end. But trying to maintain its position at the head of the package is a good problem for Clairine to confront it – one of whom had no handling for 26 years.
