But then they've got the Zac Brown figure at McLaren, who is very, very different to what we're seeing from that sort of level from the Red Bull ownership today.

Yeah, exactly.

And good F1 teams.

And they both are very good F1 teams.

They have a lot of things in common because they just have to because of the nature of the challenge.

One other thing we should speak about, John, for Montreal is the Mercedes driver battle, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell.

Do you think the stage is set for George Russell to strike back and reassert himself?

Or is this going to be Kimi Antonelli sticking the knife in a little bit further?

I always think of it in terms of the centre of gravity in a team.

Regardless of what the points situation is, the team always galvanises around the stronger driver.

And so Antonelli will be sat there thinking, right, I'm on a trajectory.

I mean, he'll be playing the junior driver.

But Kimi Antonelli will be sitting there saying, right, I can bury George now.

This is my chance.

Meanwhile, Russell's sitting there thinking, no, this is my team.

I need to bury him.

And for all of the kind of niceties, that's the underlying idea.

narrative, isn't it?

Because it's all about that centre of gravity.

And again, Red Bull's a great counterpoint because Max Verstappen is so profoundly the centre of gravity there that he's effectively, in a good way, a black hole in that team because he's total.
