When Nico or Gabi cannot start or finish their race, the official communication was always like 'technical issue' or something similar. From what I know, no details were ever provided.
I think they are very secretive and tight-lipped in their communication.
I wish they change this in the future because as fans we want to know what the problems are they are currently facing. It's obvious that they have reliability issues and I don't think their competitors gain any advantage of a transparent and open communication.

Now what do you guys think of it? Are you happy with Audi's communication about their failures?

For me personally, a bit disappointed, obviously they didn't bring a-lot of upgrades, but for the first week back from a massive break to have so many mechanical issues definitely doesn't inspire confidence.

Positives:

• Gabi managed to complete a full race distance, which seemed to be a miracle from all the problems he had this weekend.
• Nico's qualifying looked decently promising considering the minimal upgrades brought. P11 ( P10 considering Hadjar's disqualification ). Obviously the same as before but hopefully with more upgrade packages we'll be seeing Q3 more consistently.
• Nico actually had a decent start, mostly maintaining his position until his front wing got clipped by a Williams. It's no-where near the best starts but clear improvement is always good. If these improved starts can be maintained that's a good sign.
• Race Pace once again looked decent.

Negatives:

• Insane amount of mechanical issues. To list them all, Nico DNS'd in Sprint, Gabi DQ'd in Sprint, Multiple Mechanical Issues for Gabi which ruined his qualifying. Team Radio of Nico also suggested the reason for his retirement was Throttle Issues, once again another problem. Considering how the team is struggling for points, the Driver's are never able to get consistent practice with all these issues and chances are missed.

 

Looking towards Canada, just hoping for more reliability.

Hulk's car has a new problem in every single race.. and if its not a car issue and there is pace and he even qualifies almost in the top10...

The car gets zero pace at the start and Hulk loses tons of positions and has to basically catch up for the rest of the race which he did in China and Japan..

Or like Australia or Miami race and sprint, the car will just refuse to work as an F1 car and Hulk will be retired before half the race is completed..

But what makes me even more frustrated is that Gabi almost always gets none of these problems...

Anyway just wanted to vent here and HOPE that Audi get their shit together in the next races bc it's starting to get really bleak being a Hulk fan...
