People would rather believe seb is working miracle with the car rather then the team has worked really hard to improve it. It's not the 2nd worst car on the grid anymore, be proud of the engineers and their work
The difference between RedBull and McLaren, seems to be how they are going about Marketing their team and also how they feel they HAVE to market their team.
RedBull are marketing genius’s and seem to understand that they can let their drivers do what they want while still gaining that popularity through Netflix and other things. For example - if 21y/o Max doesn’t want to take part in drive to survive because he has valid reasons, they accept that and let him be.
Whereas McLaren seem to see Netflix as their biggest marketing tool, you see that with how much ‘access’ they get, even though it’s not even that much compared to Haas. And how McLaren won’t say a bad work against Netflix, and allow these stupid fake rivalries - even when Lando and Daniel have said that they are fake. Also the fact that the last season created quite a lot of negative energy from fans towards lando.
For anyone to try and diminish any drivers salary down to ‘Netflix sales’ is bullshit and quite disrespectful to that driver - who has clearly gained more money as he’s got better and better.
If Zak Brown loves Netflix and likes to keep them that’s fine, talk about it in relation to your own drivers, not mentioning other teams and things he clearly doesn’t know about - he can talk about how Lando got a pay rise due to Netflix, not how RedBull decided to pay the current world champion more.
It’s just annoying, disrespectful and unhelpful in creating a narrative where Netflix can be used but can also be altered to give a better product - seeing as it has clearly been declining in the last few seasons.
*exceptions apply ONLY to the cuntiest of cunts aka pierre, who was so cunty he couldn't stay but too cunty to let leave the system // THIS. okay so sorry for digressing from the danny discourse but i'm starting to side-eye all those ppl saying "este would eat pierre alive next year" lol...like whoever you want, but the sole reason pierre didnt go ballistic every weekend is because his current teammate is sunshine in human form...2023 will be pretty different.
anyone that doesn't think BOTH of these men are going to eat each other's faces like they're in a fucking cage match is deluding themselves tbh!! pierre is a CUNT. he is an absolute fucking bitch if things don't go his way and he WILL make it everyone else's problem. but at the same time, esteban is also a cunt, but a sneaky cunt. he's been taking lessons from nando for the past two years, he knows how to commit war crimes that most people wouldn't even fucking THINK about, he doesn't give a single shit where anyone on the grid finishes as long as he is ahead of his teammate.
when that's the energy each of them are bringing, they can pretend they're gonna be besties all day long, but we all know that one of them WILL be murdered in cold blood by the time we get to abu dhabi
i have no one to talk to irl about this race right now (everyone in the house has gone to sleep it’s 3am here) so im sorry in advance for dumping this on here but this is a warning for the tag vent(that i will definitely be deleting soon) because i love u all and care about your dash experience so if you don’t want to witness a disjointed minor breakdown look away lmao
Ferrari wonder why they haven’t won a championship in 15 years… this is the exact reason why and why they will not win one for another 15 if they don’t get themselves together.
