Re Jacques Villeneuve.
It's always interesting to get a perspective from beyond the Anglosphere - surprisingly rare in British media given how global F1 is supposed to be. Lots of English-speaking journos and pundits seem quite pally with Ricciardo...

F1 currently has teams that:
* Can't score a point because of badly designed wheel nuts
* Can't compete because it had to make its car too heavy to pass a crash test
* Can't guarantee it can run two cars in any given race

"I fully deny any accusations that have been made against me."
Red Bull Racing, 12 December 2021:

The only solution to team name confusion is to revert back to the names they used when I first started watching F1 in 1996, which is the only truth.

Kick/Stake = Sauber
Mercedes = Tyrrell

If I was in charge of the guy who was in charge of a driver development programme that seems to fire more drivers than it ever hires, I'd think long and hard about where the problem really is.

On holiday, attempting to catch up with F1 news. It is astonishingly difficult just to find out the grid on the F1 website 😒
