I actually agree with you Carl. I am also a fan of Peter Windsor’s interviews and analyses but found this clip a bit strange. But maybe it’s taken out of context or he was simply tired… Well, he has a point of course that when a team is built entirely around one driver in the Schumacher, Hamilton and now Verstappen mold with a clear first and second driver, it’s probably the best recipe for year in year out mega success as history has proven. And by signing Russell, the balance has shifted in the Mercedes team. But of course George deserved the seat and Mercedes could not hold him any longer on a string. But it’s a non discussion, I just found the video a bit weird. I don't entirely agree about the one top driver mold being best. In my opinion, this arrangement is successful because the number two driver is required to be subservient at all times, relieving any threat from within the team to the ego of number one. The delicate sensibilities ( !! ) of operatic prima donnas can't tolerate any challenge from understudies. The operative delusion is that this is unfair, and poor Hamilton comes slightly undone whenever a teammate is fast. For this reason, Mercedes has a diaper changing station at each race. Peter Windson seems to be speaking under duress. Very weird! Certainly not best for everyone involved but undeniably successful. Can they do the diaper change under 3 seconds without splashing?

The record (with splashes) so far is closer to 5 seconds, but impractical because it requires Lewis to be tranquilized. Meanwhile, Red Bull has been testing a reverse diffuser system designed by Adrian Newey to contain splash. Despite generous wages, both teams have had difficulty retaining diaper staff.
