it's not an easy decision to make.

they are not a Williams trying to squeeze every point from both drivers to make an impression on the points table. you give max a terrible car and he will get drive the team to victory, we saw that in 2021, that car was miles off Merc's pace.
yup. They don't want two number one drivers constantly competing. They need a driver who is happy to take the back seat to Max, but can also step up and win when something goes wrong for Max.

I am pretty surprised at the gap that's opened between Max and the entire rest of the field, Checo included. It's like something clicked for Max after Baku and he turned it up to 12.
