2k23! (op81 redux)

one month ago (a week before crb ruling):

not to say that i ever think mwebber knows what he's doing but people are so stupid about oscar's situation it kills me........ acting like he personally wrote that tweet or didn't have obvious legal advising in the process or acting like being put on reserve for an ENTIRE YEAR before getting thrown a consolatory williams and the distant promise of a midfield spot because your idiotic french ceo shot himself in the foot with a stupidly reactive contract is evenly remotely comparable to grussell getting the seat right out of f2 and being guaranteed eventual promotion to the then-best team on the grid LIKE....? please be serious.

[...] imo calling oscar greedy is misguided given existing context but like so be it, you can think whatever you want of him etc. obviously idc. it's just that on an objective level i still think alpine are easily 95% at fault for how they've mismanaged his negotiations, and (forgetting indycar fiasco for a minute here) i don't even think mclaren have made any glaring faux pas in "handling" the media (and i mean strictly the media the contract side can be debated) of oscar's situation???
