    They don’t care to try to be faster. They’ve said they’d rather be a tiny bit slower than their competitors rather than just as fast and making mistakes.

    Considering that most of the time RB doesn’t make any more mistakes than them it might just be a BS excuse

      Interesting! Not doubting you, but if you have a source handy I’d love to see it. It sounds a little BS since again, RBR doesn’t often make mistakes and does it faster

        Apparently it comes from a James Vowels debrief after one of the 2022 races. I don’t have a specific source since I can’t go listen to audio right now.

          Cool! I’ll hunt a little. Be interested to see if he took that mentality to Williams
