Oh look, it's the when Dan does well it's because he's better when Max does well it's because *spins conspiracy wheel* DELIBERATE SABOTAGE AND I WILL HEAR NOTHING AGAINST THIS THEORY DESPITE IT MAKING LITERALLY NO SENSE TO DO IT FITS MY WORLD VIEW AND I WILL BELIEVE IT FOREVER

Real talk after Monaco RBR kicked Jos out of the paddock and Max immediately went from fast but wildly inconsistent to the consistent racer we see now. Dan was getting beaten all over the place in 2018, and often by large embarrassing margins that exposed his race craft.

Max won every head-to-head after monaco and in more than one of these he starts behind Dan.

Dan ran away.

Dan won china and monaco in 2018 and retired in more than 1/3 of the races

max won Austria and Mexico and retired in 3 races

Yeah particularly in the second half of that year Dan got stuck in a cycle of qualifying well, being up front, car explodes. Next race something now needs replacing, whoops already used the maximum of those, start at the back of the grid, maybe get hit by some clueless backmarker. Next race, repeat cycle.

Is Albon with Mercedes now and on loan to Williams, or is his contract with Williams?

Contrary to the opinions of the thread turning down the only path to the only car on the grid that can win a championship is not infact a masterclass move but is in fact indicative that Alex has the same level of brain damage as the average off piste skier

He’s just under contract with Williams, apparently RBR still had a clause to pluck him out for 2023 but they didn’t so he’s free to do as he pleases now.

You earn millions to drive a car.

If happiness is the concern I would advise that spending 24 weeks of the year flying around and staying in hotels only to be escorted off to PR duties and the track is not a great structure for that regardless of the team involved.

If you're in F1 you want to win, and if you want to win you want that red bull seat. Albon didn't take that chance when offered and the last time he had that chance he loving folded under the pressure, no other decent team is going to look at him because of that. hth.

Kinda my point. He’s already a multi-millionaire, why would he go off and flame out earning millions for RBR when he can stay put and have a seemingly good time earning millions for Williams.

Your argument seems to be that anyone willing to drive for Williams shouldn’t drive for Williams because they obviously don’t care about the sport.

If you go to rbr, you must drive Max's car. Which probably means you must drive it Max's way if you want to stay competitive. Anything below second place is a miss.

If you stay at Williams they will bend over backward to build your own customized rig that best fits your strengths. Any points at all are greatly celebrated and there's some actual exciting competition among the lower teams.

does that tweet mean they offered albon a seat or was it like "hey how would you like to come back to red bull and be our sim driver / janitor"

that seems like a fairly big distinction

like maybe they offered him a job driving one of these around handing out cans of piss drink
