Team needs to clearly galvanize around one driver with development focused around that driver. Having a common development programme is a disaster. Naming number one in a team like ferrari which is solely focused on WDC is key to the success of the 2023 campaign and the foundation for future success.
With Leclerc installing his people all over the team I wouldn't be surprised if he is angling for an early exit already.
sainz fans to be specific act as if prioritizing a driver is something unheard of in F1, and as if its a crime. obviously they don't use exact word's but narrative is same. F1 is not a democratic equal rights level playing field game....faster / better driver will always have an advantage.
Last year as Ferrari totally surrendered in second half so this priority thing became completely useless but still with priority Leclerc would have got 50+ points more. had it been a close fight not setting the priority would have been one of the biggest reasons of losing the title. It actually improves a teams chance to win gold so obviously not a disaster for the Team.
For Sainz ? if you are not better than your teammate then by default you are the 2nd driver , either improve or accept it. Its not about sainz at all, tomorrow if sainz leaves and some wonder kid steps in and betters Charles he will have same treatment. either improve or accept.
