You either outsmart/outengineer your opponent or you lose... this BoPing nonsense from Toyota is rubbish. Either invest properly in your car or STFO.  |
that's pretty much it. audi have always (at least) tried to outsmart the competition with technical solutions and, when it was the case, accepted they had the slower car - and even when they did, they still won; and that, not against a "low budget" team (for which toyota don't really have any real excuse), but against the financial might of peugeot. that was just by pure experience and efficiency, you can't pretend that just doesn't exist and expect a half-prepared project to suddenly beat a financial, experience - and, i'd say, technological as well - colossus like audi. toyota are looking for lame excuses and shortcuts instead of accepting the obvious: audi have built the better car this year. deal with it, if you can't beat them, you'll try your best next year. that's it.
