#say what you want about xavi but this was objectively handled very poorly on fred/ferrari's part

#i am once again asking what the fuck happened between february and the first week of may #this is why i don't get how people can say 'oh im sure charles knew ahead of time he just didn't know when xavi would leave exactly' #when nothing he's said today suggests he knew? or agreed to it? #and the timing is bizarre like if this was the plan all along why not do it before the season started #and not 6 races in with no explanation #charles even defended him in front of the press yet again when they were fishing for information #asking if this will mean communication will improve which...... lol fuck off #they didnt even have any major communication issues this year and the stuff that happened before was a result #of general pitwall fuckery - especially in 2022 when the mismanagement and chaos was egregious under mattia #feel like im just yelling into the void but this is seriously pissing me off #say what you want about xavi but this was objectively handled very poorly on fred/ferrari's part #not discussing the issue with the driver is already pretty bad but not even informing him prior to/during the miami weekend..... #that's just fucked up #i can't see mercedes or red bull blindsiding lewis or max like that #even mclaren like afaik whenever someone else has to step in as race engineer for the weekend the driver is aware in advance #like they literally just cut xavi off at the knees to do? what exactly? shove him in some dusty corner back at the factory or wherever? #never to be seen again? yeah fuck them ugh
