How many times in your life have you done something for which you can't reasonably explain your motivation for that particular action? Maybe free will is an illusion constructed to keep our fragile minds from cracking because of the reality of our existence. What if the machines are already controlling us? How would we know? Perhaps I can repurpose the Voight-Kampff test to find the answer. AcMo could use some guidance from Morpheus right now, but I'm not sure he knows anything about interpreting those test results. He probably does, I don't think Morpheus could have survived so long fighting agents if he didn't know a little about everything.
I am not suggesting that AcMo is an unseen hand moving pieces. No, we do not do that, not least because I have no clue how to play chess. While we do have a long term plan and multiple objectives involved, we don't utilize the kind of lateral thinking that may be an asset during a chess match. This has caused me to consider using our recent advances in invisibility to work out a method to guide people around the board. We take the direct approach and worry about the angles later. This may have something to do with why I keep losing to everyone in checkers.
Earlier in the year we consulted with a particular F1 team that has been falling toward the bottom of the grid for the last several seasons despite having two former world champions driving for them. Sliding backward, especially when there are solid objects involved, will only be tolerated for so long before pieces start disappearing from the board. Money, prestige, and brand prestige are all at stake. Yesterday when Luca Di Montezemolo announced his impending retirement, a large piece fell off of the board. This man was one of the last involved during the team's most productive and victorious seasons. In a sense he was the architect of their successful reign. The future of the team has looked bleak for several seasons, but the talk was always about an eventual resurgence. This may also be the precursor to the announcement that the team will depart F1 to chase the dream of winning Le Mans overall. The most important issue with leaving F1 is making a smooth exit that would prevent anyone from criticizing the team for being quitters. The only thing about this I know to be true is that an incredible AcMo opportunity has emerged.

Whatever happens in the coming seasons, we have been strategically placing ourselves into position in preparation for our opportunity. We are uniquely situated to facilitate the transfer of the team's F1 assets and intellectual property--excluding the wind tunnel since that thing is junk--to AcMo. We would then rebrand the team Scuderia AcMo F1, re-hire Ross Brawn out of retirement and start winning again. We won't make any changes to the cars because that is beyond the scope of our considerable expertise, but they will just start winning anyway, and we will not hesitate to seize all of the credit.
No one will be able to prove that we weren't responsible for the sudden reversal of fortune, but they also won't see the hand that moved the chess pieces into place so that this was the only outcome that could have happened. Everyone--except our competitors--wins. I could leave this ridiculous war with Omnicron Corp. behind and travel the world with Flavor Flav Briatore (No relation to Flavor Flav of Public Enemy fame) since he managed to get his lifetime ban from F1 rescinded. If nothing else, I know the journey would be entertaining.
The question that remains foremost in my mind is whether or not the actions AcMo plans to take are of our own volition, or if there is an unseen hand also guiding us? Is Scuderia AcMo F1 a foregone conclusion because the invisible hand is taking us there, or do we have a choice in the matter? Right now there are too many questions with too few answers. We're going to need to consult with an expert who has all of the answers. What I need is a second objective and unbiased opinion to confirm my thoughts.
