I hope you have learned your lesson about things Buxton says
1) Make a really painfully obvious point, interlace it with unnecessary, dramatic pauses
2) Look off to the right like you're telling a valuable industry secret that can't reach the wrong ears
3) Look back into the camera, smugly as if you've entirely nailed the art of broadcasting

They knew they were going to lose Russell if they didn't bring him into the team (after promising him a seat for like 3 years), and if they lost him they would have to give it to DeVries, or Sotffel or someone else equally terrible. Most of the other Merc junior drivers are too young still.

yeah definitely, fun to imagine

Buxton is one of those talking head morons who is perpetually always trying to be the first to make an observation. Everything he says is just him throwing poo poo hoping some of it vaguely sticks.
Even worse, he's a coward so his hottest takes are "driver good" and "hitting things bad"

I don't want to be too hard on DTS entrants if they quickly realise that DTS is a bunch of horseshit and you're better prepared for an F1 season by spending 8 hours watching pornhub content because at least that way you're probably ready for a two hour nap.

I will however say that the orange brigade armed with orange flags, shirts and flares are a literal cancer on the sport who should all get tyre necklaced.

Alonso will be charging down Sharl for the top spot after Perez messes up qualifying again and Max’s car explodes.

Said influx of Orange fans have saved much of the European calendar from trouble, and in some cases (Spa, Spain) are wholly the reason the event is on the calendar in 2023.

Unless you want the sport to be running around tilke dromes in a desert whilst taking part in a race as part of an active hostage situation, you should respect these people's presence.
I said years ago that Max was the only person who could save this sport and the more time passes, the more right I am.
