Sainz seems to get a free pass when he has bad races and called a great driver when he has good races. He was the worst driver on the grid in Abu Dhabi. He was only given the crazy strategy because he had sucked up until that point and barely passed anyone. The only excuse people can give him is maybe the car was not rebuilt properly after the BS in Las Vegas.

Apparently Jos is publicly pushing for Horners ousting now

What an awful take. He would have finished fourth in the standing last year if it wasn't for Vegas and Abu Dabi wasn't even remotely his fault. They had to send him on a completely different strategy that had no chance of working. Not sure how you figure how Sainz get a free pass when he is literally driving a car for an entire year that he knows he will not be driving in next year

And of course he gets some praise when he has a good race, as do most drivers. His win last year was by most peoples definition a masterclass in driving. And it's especially an odd time for this take when he won the fan vote for driver of the day despite not being a that much of a fan favorite (though that should have went to Max).
