Fair point, and he's done very well.
But the longer he hangs the bigger the value drop.
Unless they become dominant again.
Don't give up the day job.

He increased his share % when Ineos bought in.

I won't.

A bigger % of a depreciating asset doesn't always equate to more wink

Either way he's probably home and dry smile

It's depreciating so negatively (double negative) he might buy part of Man Utd with Sir Jim.

If it's just about cold money then fair enough.

But Toto will only start smiling from the heart when ManU become as good as ManCity or Tottenham or Arsenal.

They need another Ferguson

Now we're debating Toto's investment nous and what Man Utd need to challenge again?

scratchchin

I don't think Toto will be scratching around for money ever again and, if Joe Saward is correct and midfield teams are turning down offers of $1.2bn because they have an appreciating asset, he'll be doing very nicely out of Mercedes F1.

Clearly (???) the others need to up their game if they are to push Perez down the standings
Oh dear. Clearly, they will not, IF the 2024 car is not.........AS DOMINANT AS 2023.........

Please read to the end of the post and try and have a better stab at what (I thought) was a clear inference.

Indeed. For a deeply average driver to spend the entire season in second place in the WDC is testament to how far the team/car are ahead right now.
Jaysus H Christ on a bike!

See the post above...

Is it me???????????? I really cannot see any other inference.

If I wrote "Mohammed Ali was clearly one of the best...", would you immediately infer I meant "example of an Alzheimers sufferer"..??

I previously thought that Checo should be out.

But, from a press/ story point of view. He's the only one that is generating any press at the moment. The RB only really gets much TV time when it's Checo's car. MV is so far out front no race TV director is showing the car and all it's sponsors.

So, for a purely advertising and number of press pages viewpoint, RB have to keep Checo in the seat. (I place the proviso on this post that it may be a tiny bit tongue in cheek wink)

I’ve been spending months petitioning my local MP, currently no progress so currently I’m in talks with a lawyer and considering escalating it to the European Court of Human rights.

If you want a "mentally fragile" driver check out Lewis Hamilton
Imagine spending your whole life working towards a single goal. Imagine achieving it and then being robbed by the FIA breaking the rules meaning your entire life of work has just been ripped from your hands, and the official WDC rankings keep you joint first when you would have been in the records for the most WDC of any driver in the history of your sport. Imagine the mental strenght it takes to go and congratulate the person who did not deserve to win and would not have done had you not been robbed by the people who are supposed to uphold the rules. Imagine then coming back next year and tryng it all again.

You want to see mental strenght? You are at best a moron if you don't think Lewis has incredible strength.

Yep, Lewis is prettry much the definition of mental fortitude. Calling him 'mentally fragile' is laugh-out-loud stupid.

my bad.

......or even Tottenham or Liverpool.

Toto would be a perfect football investor.
He can easily afford to lose a fortune.
