And I don't envy Mechie's having to... voice-verified

replace that because you're not just looking for the next person to fill the role, but you kind of have to do a bit of work of these are the constraints of the role that weren't followed before. voice-verified

So yeah, I don't really envy him on that. voice-verified

I think it's a great hire. voice-verified

Yeah, I mean, equally, it's like Mercedes, I think, have a bit more of a specialized focus voice-verified

they don't have the second team in the same way that Red Bull do. voice-verified

I think they focus a bit more on a couple of drivers rather than that sort of spray approach that Red Bull have been known for in the past. voice-verified

I think they're two good drivers to hang your hat on in terms of Russell and Antonelli. voice-verified

Antonelli might be, in terms of a discovered talent, since Verstappen may be the best one. voice-verified

Maybe. voice-verified

We'll see how that goes. voice-verified

But also Russell, that journey from... voice-verified

GP3 champion. voice-verified

It's that long ago. voice-verified

It was GP3 and not F3. voice-verified

GP3 champion, F2 champion, Williams driver, and then a race winner. voice-verified

Even if Russell doesn't go on to win a title, that's still a heck of a progression. voice-verified

Yeah, absolutely. voice-verified

So... voice-verified

Yeah, I think it's an important step on the road to recovery for Red Bull. voice-verified
