It's a very complicated setup with Dietrich Mateschitz.

And Helmut Marko being that important line into Red Bull, so had a lot of power that Christian wasn't necessarily under full control.

And there were things that Marko did he wasn't aware of.

And Christian's trying to keep these two balanced things, not having always the full picture.

from marco so sometimes he would go direct to dietrich other times marco would deal with it questions over contracts there are questions about was there a clause somewhere in terms of agreements with red bull that vettel was clear number one and had to be honored because christian was they said there was never clarity about this in some respects so i wonder if

he was always onto a loser in some situations.

By trying to please everybody, which is the job of a team boss, and trying to keep things equal, it's then kind of fed into the paranoia that things weren't being equal.

So I think you're in a scenario where you're never going to please both drivers because whatever you do, if you treat them both equally...

Vettel's going to get upset because he thinks he should rightfully be winning all the races.

And if Mark wins is for reasons outside of my control.

But then if Mark wins because he's generally done a better job, that then causes problems in the team.

If Vettel wins, then the paranoia is that he's getting better treatment and this shouldn't be happening.

So whatever the outcome is, you're always going to end up in trouble.

Because it was a mindset that got him into a top seat and he could have won him the world championships.

You can't say it was the wrong scenario.

There were tiny circumstances at the end of that season, the incident in Korea, for example, that turned things around massively.

And I think he was someone who thrived on this mindset

sense of paranoia the whole Aussie grit thing like you know knuckling in and being super strong and tough and not taking anything lying down was what made him so so strong so brilliant that's what got him there what got him there and if you say that was a you know mistake to have it when you were fighting for the championship actually he wouldn't have been in the first place wouldn't have been there in the first place if he hadn't had those qualities so this sometimes the

You look at some of the greats, for example, that there are benefits to being a great in doubting yourself and not being super convinced of yourself because it stops arrogance being there.

And all these complications of our champions, better champions, if they have absolute conviction that they are the very, very best, or does that lead to complacency, make you not deliver your best.
