Don't worry guys, Ron knows the guy who drives the crane.

The problem/evil is that when they are booted out of red bull they are still under contract, anything they earn over £1 million has to go to red bull, and that includes any personal sponsorship they can find. To get a place at even a team like manor they need at least £20 million. Good luck kids!

And if they were not contracted, then what? Nobody that failed out has been good enough to get another F1 drive. If they were, they would have gotten one.

It doesn't affect their careers, just their compensation which is due to Red Bull investment in them, and limited to the first 3 years of their F1 life anyway. This is much better then those early 2000s schemes where drivers were selling shares in themselves.

Nobody has ever invested as much as Red Bull has into young drivers. To do that, you have to get rid of the ones that don't perform and promote the ones that do.
