Wow. Just wow. Not fit to drive a pedal car it seems let alone a single seat race car.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMcmlNYR6nQ&ab...

In the end the super license system is supposed to stop those that don't learn from progressing.. But naturally, there are other influences (cough - money - cough) that tend to affect certain decisions..
Apart from the comedy spins and barrier bumps which are great fun - it's stuff like this from Mazepin that isn't actually funny at all in F1. Just listen to how the other drivers speak about him.

Bit worrying when your own team trolls you
Not so worrying when daddy is bankrolling the team though?!?!There's an awful lot of mineral mines owned by Uralchem.
These two things may prove to be completely unconnected.

In return for the spinning top, Mazepin got Steiner a 'Fok Smash Door'
Are they staging this stuff...? Either way, it's certainly helping to present a more pleasant side of Mazepin.The driving is still an issue! But this is at least helping and very humourous
Awkward or what. Haas. This nonsense just strikes me as being very dysfunctional. Similar to years ago when McLaren mechanics had “John Whatswrong” written on the cockpit sides of Wattie’s car.
Morale may be low and you might be focussing on the 2022 car but surely you remain professional and expend every ounce of energy extracting the maximum from a dog of a car. RUS could give them the heads up on this.
I really admire MSC and his likeable and professional approach. I hope that he does what he has done in lower formulae, quietly learns the ropes (arguably at a slower rate than some) and ends up in a strong F1 team. He needs to remain immune to all this rubbish (including a team mate who nearly put him into the wall at 200mph last month).

I'm sure the driver meetings are pretty awkward for him. I know that all drivers get in the way of one and other at various times but he does seem to be a fan of parking his car in the wrong place when he is crawling around the track.
Gunther definitely doesn't look impressed in that video either
