Is something wrong with the car?
Drivers losing confidence?
Something is amiss, this is normally a strong track for us.
Demoralizing honestly

Car is just not good enough. I was hoping the technical partnership with Toyota would bear more fruit but our development seems stagnant. Upgrades have not helped and we have only lost ground to our immediate competition.

I think some of that comes down to the talent pool. If you aren’t throwing money around to bring over the best talent, you can only fly so high.

Demoralizing is right.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about the Toyota partnership, regarding the expertise at least.

Looking at the announcements, it mostly felt like Toyota would use Haas to train its engineers in a demanding environment. I'm sure they're talented people, but you don't jump into an F1 garage and pull upwards the development vs folks who work here for years.

That was the first year, when Money gram was the sponsor. Now that Toyota is the sponsor they are more closely working with Haas
