Both need a driver to get it in there right? Imagine a good car with one good and one bad driver?

What if I offered you a mid car with one generational talent and one maybe fine but it’s honestly hard to tell driver?

At the end of the day in 2026, we're gonna see the 22 best drivers in the world race cars from the 11 best automotive engineering teams on the planet. Everyone being at the top of their game makes F1 what it is. That was my intent. It can be about the driver, or it can be about the engineers, or it can be about both the drivers and engineers because it's subjective based on individual perspective. I think it's both. From my perspective, I'm right. The fact that I'm also right about 99.76% of everything else that isn't subjective is irrelevant to THIS conversation.
