I have never seen a driver jump into a front running or whatever car and bottling the starts with this consistency. Did you see Leclerc or Russel doing regularly bad starts?
I mean....even if you are not the best starter, getting more starts well than bad should be a possibility for a F1 driver. I really feel sorry, but this is a running gag, not something "about learning".
Same for strategy. They had two wet races this season and bottled the strategy in both. How do you want to learn this? There is no learning, you have one or two races per year. That is a topic of awareness and being a midfield team is nothing one would accept as a reason for being unaware. I do not believe Zak is happy with the explanation on "we were in the midfield" for bottling the strategy...
To be fair to Norris... despite Russell's excellence in this past race, he isn't actually a very good starter on average. His net positions on start is in the negatives. Sainz is also in the negatives. It's not like Norris is the only driver semi-consistently losing positions on starts.
