Absolutely ridiculous that one team is allowed to brazenly do stuff like this, and we don't even get a murmur from the FIA.
Someone wears a nose stud or says a naughty word and they go wild.
This isn't the first time the diet RB team has clearly done stuff to help the main RB team.
Anybody who casts their minds back to 2021 will remember Alpha Tauri moving out the way anytime Max needed to overtake, and defending like hell any time Lewis was approaching. I even remember Gasly being within 1s of the car ahead on a DRS straight and literally not using it, so that Max could promptly overtake.
One team on the grid has four drivers. It's ridiculous.
Before anybody says it, I know RB saved that team when others didn't want to buy it for a fair price. That doesn't give them a free ticket to manipulate the playing field in perpetuity.
E: and before someone says Daniel did this because of his friendship with Max nothing more, or that he was itching to blast about in an F1 car fast for his last lap, this was a team order, not a request from Daniel.
Tsunoda in Turkey was another one, completely destroyed his own race to defend with his life against Hamilton iirc.
