I acknowledge this, and it's a little frustrating. Unfortunately, I can't call Rosberg to a witness box and question him.
Fwiw, paraphrasing the conversation.
Rosberg: And you turned the engine up?
Shovlin: Ah, yeah, we turned it up a little bit.
Unfortunately, the lack of benefit of doubt works both ways. Just because you said you watched Rosberg's YT podcast and don't remember him saying that, doesn't mean that you did or would acknowledge it if you had heard it.
The team did not expect Hamilton to go for the Fastest lap on those tyres? But Shovlin said in the video that Hamilton proved he could of set the fastest lap at Paul Ricard if they let him do it, so they let him go for it.
Damn right. Everyone, including those at Silverstone, should've been watching the cricket.
With all due respect, Jag. Nigel Mansell set the FL of the 92 BGP on the second last lap. He did it having led all the way and leading by half a lap, And irrc he didn't pit. I'm not sure it's the big deal it's made out to be?
Lowest point was probably when they had to put the top class drivers to run RX2e cars for the final races of the season, after the whole fire on the Lancias drama.
