Problem seems to be that Max is just a different kind of driver, and the RBs are (seemingly) built to his needs. So you’re always gonna have others having to work with a car not suited to their own strengths.
That’s why 2026 will be Max’s chance out, while new cars are yet to be built. But whoever takes him in is gonna have similar issues.
I’m wondering if Russell can’t do a Rosberg and just be boringly consistent in getting podiums, then actually win the drivers championship.
