Addressing the Manor 5th place theory.
A few are concerned about the theory that we are always in 5th place, which thanks to u/ScariestLlama and his hilarious fake coding has got us in a bit of shit. Now I know that most of you are taking this as a joke, but there are a few who are not.
So, 5th place has actually only happened for Manor on 2 occasions this season, Turkey and Spain, out of a possible 5. Two things to take away from this 1, we just can't break into the top 4 or Llama's coding is terrible.
We are consistently scoring points in races and qualifying well due to hard work all the way from the end of last season with our dealings over the window, the current bonuses we have in drivers and the hard work our team manager and race engineer, u/splendidtree puts into the weekend to be able to get us a good competitive car.
Some of you are unbelieving that this is all fair and square, with previous accusations that Llama has leaked us the coding and secrets for the sim, again, he did not.
I, like most, are still unbelieving of the season we are having, we are doing exceptionally well and miles ahead of our rivals, BRM and as we always said we would, are pushing it to the band B teams.
What you are seeing is a team run by a good set of guys, who take this model seriously whilst having a great laugh with the rest of you. We may not be a popular team, we may not be a big team, but what we are is a team who isn't going to be a laughing stock, who isn't going to be immature and who is going to play fairly and push this MM2 for the rest of the season.
So, it is 5 race weekends in, we go to Monaco next week and we will see who qualifies 5th ;)
