The aco/wec admits that they knew Aston was in financial trouble and they knew Stroll was going to take the helm. At least they were aware of the second part when the rest of the world was. From there, I think the negotiating should have been switched to the ACO having a position of power. Now they have Peugeot in the room, AM should be pushed further back and their desires dropped. Hypercar should take a different look or route. Peugeot is interested in hybrids, so the dropping of two systems seems like a big waste. So is the 1100kg and the road car requirement.
