the sim stuff just really affirms that this was the best decision he could have made...if he had moved directly to another team he wouldn't have had the time and space to unlearn the bad habits. like yes he has apparently made a lot of progress course correcting his driving in a fairly short time but if he'd been on the grid with the pressure of performing in like a haas or something with those bad habits? oof it would have been a nightmare. the press alone. a full year building himself back up is great, possibly returning fully confident is even better...but also if he doesn't come back this is still such a nice way to heal from the past few years.

right!!! even the thought of having to do this in the fucking red bull seems like it would have been a bit of a nightmare situation. he needed to be able to do it privately, away from the cameras and questions and judgement :(

#also thinking about him spending the weekend pouring over max and checo's data #vs him saying last year that he was spending so much time pouring over lando's data and trying to replicate it #but he just couldn't no matter what he tried #but now that he's back in a car that he knows and understands and he's getting back to old form....that data seems like it'll be invaluable #maybe giving him a little boost in his work to give THEM a boost yk #dan #red bull redux #answered #anonymous #genuinely what is wrong with me this one piece of info has had me on a fucking high all fucking day long #i miss the rush of silly season SO MUCH 💀
