I’m sure RIC is a great person, but after Stroll, he was given a leash way longer than most and way longer than he should have been given if we’re strictly looking at performance. Leaving Red Bull was probably the wrong decision but only in a way where Red Bull would have given him the tools to contribute to a winning team. Leaving Red Bull to try and remain the lead driver was the wrong move and the realization of that should’ve been cemented when he couldn’t succeed with McLaren.

I think that's not the point or issue here. He is about to lose the thing he loves doing most: driving an F1 car.

not sure why McLaren didn't give Norris new everything parts in Baku and start last. Norris is on his last allocation of every part.
