MP4/1E - Lauda is to "blame"

[edit]

In the line "It was competitive but the new engine was, thanks to Lauda's political maneuvering, underdeveloped and had teething troubles." is editorializing and forcing an Interpretation of the events on the reader - one could just as well argue other factors of equal or greater relevance for the engine underperforming. The line seems to put some kind of Blame for bad results on Lauda's political maneuvering which is a view not shared by John Barnard for one, who says he realized later that his was a good move that he agrees put the team in great shape for 1984 (Tales from the Vault - Story of 1984 - at Minute 4:40 youtube.com/watch?v=cOWpuqjPHy0&t=1456s) Hence the part "thanks to Lauda's political maneuvering" should be deleted. 2003:E9:FF45:7833:F695:B3F3:97CA:62BA (talk) 20:23, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
