If you don't think F1 having to promote the USGP and Vegas while their current reigning world champion sits at home doing iRacing is funny then we might just have different ideas about comedy.

I'm no expert on contract law but I'm skeptical of a multimillion dollar multi year contract containing a clause that completely invalidates it because one party no longer employs an elderly racist Austrian.

it's always the car

talent gets the most out of the car, but the car sets the limits

see: stroll and alonso

or, see george russell coming out of a shitbox williams and jumping into lewis' car in 2020

Sorry, no that's bullshit. It's partly car limitations and driver limitations. It's always a mix of the two.

For an example that's pretty unfair, see Perez and Verstappen. Why Verstappen? He's one of maybe 5 individuals in the sport's history who can be said to not be limited by a car. That would include Senna, Prost, Schumacher and probably someone in the 50's/60's I don't know about. Perez has a driving style that can be disturbed by a car's design like the 2023RB which favoured Verstappen. This year the car works a lot more like Perez's style, it won't affect Verstappen, he can still drive away from the pack but Perez is having a much better time. Not dealing with the limitations probably makes it psychologically easier to get into a driving rhythm (the zone), that's probably the kind of issue Leclerc is having for example. Verstappen simply doesn't have this issue, he doesn't seem to be at risk of that kind of doubt.

That is why car limits aren't the whole story and we can think of other examples, take Hamilton and the problems Mercedes cars have had in the last 3 years. The GOAT can't drive out of those issues because he is not that kind of unicorn, its not a failing it's just the facts.

Reminder, I'm not saying drivers can't be at fault, but it's more complex than what you actually want which is blaming the car so your favoured little boy isn't to blame. Sorry, that's bullshit, your little boy has to drive the car too.

Just having Max out of the picture would make the season more exciting. At least for a few races.

He’s been head of driver development forever so all the drivers are supposed to be indebted to him personally in addition to/instead of the team.

Es ist unklar, ob Horner die Nachricht verstanden hat. Marko meinte zwar auf Nachfrage, dass die Bälle gerade hin und her fliegen und man stündlich mit neuen Wasserstandsmeldungen rechnen müsse, doch es gibt auch Stimmen im Team, die behaupten, dass Horner auf seinem Ego-Trip weder nach links noch nach rechts schaut. "Der glaubt allen Ernstes, dass er auch ohne Verstappen, Newey und Ford gewinnen kann, weil er sich für den Architekten des Erfolgs hält."

DeepL:

It is unclear whether Horner has got the message. When asked, Marko said that the balls are flying back and forth at the moment and that we have to expect new updates every hour, but there are also voices in the team who claim that Horner is not looking to the left or right on his ego trip. "He seriously believes that he can win without Verstappen, Newey and Ford because he thinks he is the architect of success."

If it’s anything like the one I grabbed the other year, no. Certainly not for any but the newest races.

Another thing to note is for a lot of the earlier races, the broadcasts have local commentary.

Advising RBR isn’t his main job no

E: if he moves to Mercedes then I don’t know if he’d even have a “main job”, he might just be an advisor there.
