Both of these reflect a complete lack of understanding of how large, highly successful organizations work. A complete lack of understanding.

That is all.

Comparing your experience with large organisations which you have had and continue? to have in the pharmaceutical field can't be compared to what goes on in the corridors of power and decision making in companies mated to F1 teams in particular Daimler Merc and RB Honda .
I believe RB is run honestly and fairly with the drivers given free rein on their ideas without constraint and Christian Horner is ''seen'' to be a reasonable and straightforward team leader unlike Wolff who in my eyes comes across as a shifty character visibly losing temper when a pen drops on the floor and over controlling when it comes the drivers.
Your idea of how this DMB organisation works is a bit whitewashed.

It's boring if you're not a MB fan.

This is hilarious. Good leadership is good leadership and translates across all industries. Do you think Toto Wolff goes in and grabs a stylus or spanner or hex key? No. He provides a positive culture and inspires people to do their best and makes sure they are adequately resourced to do the best job possible. Which they have since 2014.

Sorry you don't understand that how performance based organizations work.

Pretty much what minn19 said. Call me bad but an occasional shoving match wouldn't hurt. But that's me.

All large organizations have their issues and we really don't have much insight into either. The only real data point we have is success. MB/Lewis teammates have been much more successful than the recent past RB ones. Gasly/Albon had mostly miserable experiences there, thankfully Gasly has rebounded nicely and hopefully Albon gets another chance. The book is still out on Checo, he got the one win he should of gotten at least with VER/HAM out. Obviously Rosberg and even Bottas have had much more success than the RB drivers/teammates of Max. I think it's pretty clear who is playing games or not a level playing field with their "second" drivers.

You sir, win The Internet today. Congratulations!!

Nothing more needs to be added but for the fact that since you are providing objective data, it will largely be ignored or Max-plained away by the RBR adherents.

Nicely stated!!

Thanks! I believe even RIC only managed 7 total wins and no higher than third in the WDC. Compared to BOT's 9 wins and a couple of 2nds in the WDC. I think I have my numbers right.

Questionable cut throat leadership there as well as a time advanced hybrid car with a controlled second driver have made it a walk in the park for Merc since '14 even Dennis the Menace cartoon character would see that and it's only Max that's rocking the boat making fully understandable why you and your followers are all tetchy

"Red Bull Won’t “Stoop” to “Revenge” Against Mercedes"

What do we think about this? PR BS?

I feel there is zero chance that Max doesn't try to take Lewis out at some time this season.

[M5Rick]

For instance Checo had chosen to set his own car up at BGP and look where it got him..to the back of the field.
It shows there that Horner let him do what he thought was right without pressure but there comes a time when enough is enough and he has to tow the line with a more stable set up from RB if he's not capable.

Wolff ,yesterday :
"Currently Bottas remains the second driver at Mercedes" !

In the last races Valtteri did a great job by supporting Lewis .

Well , I was thinking : What has Bottas actually done in the previous seasons while he was HAM's lapdog ?

Good lord ! I LMFAO !!!
I'm pretty sure , Wolff thinks we are idiots !

He already has tried in Spain and Italy.

Actually this is a recipe for any good movie. When a movie has a good protagonist/antagonist, it creates a lot of tension. Hell, Disney has made a fortune off of this premise. Today, in F1, we have Hamilton and Verstappen playing both roles (depending on fan base), which creates a lot of drama, therefore we follow them to see who comes out at the top at the end. And just like the tracks that start and end at the same point, this vicious cycle continues on and on. But we love it, or we wouldn't be here.

You're really going with this when Max has had one Slap-dick team mate after another?

Max's total team mates: RIC, GAS, ALB, PER. Total Wins: 9. Total WDCs: ZERO. GOOSE EGG. NUTHIN'. NADA.

But for RIC, who beat him, Max is untested.

Sir Lewis's Total Team Mates: ALO, KOV, BUT, ROS, BOT. Total wins: A gazillion...every one a race winner. Total WDCs: 4 more than VER has.

Well mate . You can bet on it !
And probably in the same way as well ...

You never heard of : "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" ?

It was only a matter of time , then finally Hammy showed his dirty kart trick in his home race !

Hasn't Max already done this to a few drivers?

Yea, that's what I think too, he can certainly try.

But what about this non-sense from RB?
"Red Bull Won’t “Stoop” to “Revenge” Against Mercedes"

Like they expect anyone to believe that.
