When did Ferrari fire their second driver mid season?

I'm not talking about prioritizing their drivers, I'm talking about treating them like dirt. Barrichello and Irvine were treated like royalty and they could have beaten Schumi any time they wanted to. Rosberg at Mercedes is another example.

I mentioned Albon, David Bowie, Ricciardo, there was also Scott Speed, Sebastien Bourdais, Nyck De Vries... I'm not sticking up for Perez, I'm sticking up for Tsunoda who has proven himself again and again yet been overlooked.

Nah, Redbull are like Spyker, Renault, Williams, Sauber, Manor... teams that have done a dirty on their drivers mid season... and now, I'm afraid, without Massiveshitz the team has gone from being a family run European team to a team run by disconnected beancounters in Thailand. Horner did himself a dirty this year with his publicity stunt sadly... not sure where to from now for the team. All they have left is money and Max... and even Max has shown he's open to finishing his career somewhere else.

You do understand this sport is about money, it's a business. If your driver isn't performing or costing the team a fortune, then get rid of them. Any company would boot a non performing driver. What goes on behind the scene (money / contract wise) we will never see.

And really, what has Horner's personal life got to do with anyone? It was just another typical female employee blackmailing another for money when things didn't go her way, nothing else but money.

What's there to explain? At some point a #2 driver emerges but for those two, they were clearly #2 material from the get go. Sure, they had MS' contract fixed as #1 which I disagree with completely, but neither Rubens or Irvine were fired mid season. They were treated like royalty. Irvine made $74 mil from the Scuderia while racing for them. Perez can't even get them to improve the car - they flat out ignore his suggestions which many pundits have suggested will benefit the team overall. They fix the car for driver 1 then fire driver 2 for underperforming.

The Consistently Excellent British GP

And it's counterpart, the recently cancelled dutch gp

Why?
It is the Grand Prix of Great Britain which constitutes England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The alternative would be to call it the English GP, in which case, if you are using country names rather than to overall federation, then the US Grand Prix should be renamed GP of Texas, Miami the GP of Florida and Las Vegas, the GP of Nevada.
 
Watching Hamilton after dropping out of Q1... 2021 vibes. It is what it is but it's not a nice thing to see. Kinda really feel for the guy.

He should've retired end 2023, head held high, seven time World Champ :)

Unless he pulls of this Ferrari move against all odds then ****ing A!
