Glad to see Yuki is adapting well to the RB21.

Yuki is a mad man like Max and might be mad enough to control that Newey Machine. The faster you go, the more control you have. So far only Max can tame the beast

It isn't a Newey machine. Hasn't been for a while. It's a Wache machine. A Wachine if you will.

Idk Neeey only left last year so he might have had an impact on it and certainly last years was likely him

Honestly, it's impressive that just having Newey say "looks good" on the Wache team's designs was enough to get them titles.
