Because that's totally never happened with Max and Checo? Team orders to swap places that get ignored, second guessing radio calls about strategy compared to your teammate, etc.
Shit happens. Teams know this. Teams just want to win. Even going back to Lewis and Nico, Merc kept Nico until he chose to leave them, even through the conflict.
But speculation and opinions are all part of the fun of F1. We can always count on the teams to do some crazy shit for some random reason.
Yeah I don't remember any incident where perez refused to swap places with max when he was ahead and the only time max was asked to swap for perez to go ahead was when max was racing with a damaged car. Usually max is around 10-50 seconds ahead of perez so there is no chance of them sabotaging each others races
While this is true, their decision to keep bottas alongside Hamilton in every season after 2017 was substantially influenced by the fact that they did not want to create a toxic atmosphere like what they had with Lewis and Nico by getting a better, more competitive driver.
Besides when he drove across the line while GP had a heart attack telling him to let Checo through lol. It is what it is, I'm just saying there is always conflict no matter what.
It's in every team's interest to pursue the fastest drivers, imo.
Not for whoever was number one, but fuck number two and how they might feel about it. Valtteri was pretty candid about how damaging it was to be in that role, and seemed pretty happy to be away from it when he signed with Alfa Romeo.
Yeah ethically having a designated number two is not a good thing. The number two is mentally and emotionally affected in a major way but F1 is a cutthroat sport where the team is only looking for what's best for it
