Because that's totally never happened with Max and Checo? Team orders to swap places that get ignored, second guessing radio calls about strategy compared to your teammate, etc.

Yeah I don't remember any incident where perez refused to swap places with max when he was ahead and the only time max was asked to swap for perez to go ahead was when max was racing with a damaged car. Usually max is around 10-50 seconds ahead of perez so there is no chance of them sabotaging each others races

Even going back to Lewis and Nico, Merc kept Nico until he chose to leave them, even through the conflict.

While this is true, their decision to keep bottas alongside Hamilton in every season after 2017 was substantially influenced by the fact that they did not want to create a toxic atmosphere like what they had with Lewis and Nico by getting a better, more competitive driver.

Because having two equally fast and strong headed drivers is often counterproductive to a teams goal because they will fight with each other instead to working together for the benefit of the team. See alpines line up now or their previous line up with Alonso and ocon

I'm not convinced Red Bull or anyone else thinks Yuki has a ceiling much higher than where he's currently at.

Which according to me is perfect for them. They want somebody solid, consistent and fast but not enough to threaten Verstappen. Yuki fits this bill. If they actually wanted somebody who would beat Verstappen in a straight fight occassionally they would have jumped at opportunity to bring in sainz. What they want is a driver what bottas was to merc and I believe yuki could be that

Red Bull is unfortunately cursed with comparing everyone to Max so they are perpetually hunting for someone as good or better than he is

There is nobody fitting this bill in the RB stables (or outside for that matter). Neither did perez fit this bill so then hiring him seems an odd decision. Lawson and hadjar dont fit these requirements either and since they are rookies throwing them into Verstappen infested waters seems more like a plan to destroy their career than advance it.

This has raised more questions than it has answered lmao

I feel like I am missing some context

Yeah the irony is palpable

It is the same thing which happened to ajax, monaco, etc when they had their impressive seasons. Nothing one can do to prevent it in the current footballing environment where the biggest clubs have orders of magnitude more spending power.

I did not expect the match to be so one sided. Alcaraz just blew him out of the water

She lasted slightly longer than a head of lettuce

That must be one plucky lettuce head considering that holly has been the director for nearly a year.

Gnome foundation will continue to thrive with and without her but she has made some decent contributions while she was there

Did you even read the article¿? She is pursuing PhD and is leaving to concentrate on that. She knows she won't be able juggle both her studies and her responsibility as a director so she is stepping down which I think is the responsible thing to do.
