people only now realizing mclaren doesn't treat their employees well trust me they've been like this for a while. having askew drive in indycar while he was concussed and then dropping him out of nowhere. paying their engineers a single freddo frog chocolate instead of actual pay when they implemented upgrades. everything that happened with stoffel and their lack of support for him.

#i also find it unsurprising that they value norris over ricciardo #his father has stakes in mclaren which is why they picked him up as a junior and zak brown gets money from his out of sport quadrant stuff #bcos of a deal. hes a decent driver with the money and connections to put him in a placement above another driver. hes loyal to the team #as one of his juniors and as the son of one of their investors and he stands as a profitable product even when he isnt racing #and drivers are products to these businesses. the same way an influencer turns themself into something sellable online #the companies who advertize them as personalities as well as drivers do the same #thats why they do the whole ''we're a family'' thing its another way to sell a product #any business tells you theyre like a family treats their workers like shit and expects way too much of them
