I have no doubt that Marko is the problem. He abuses his friendship with Dietrich Mateschitz so that he can run the F1 driver program as if it his own personal plaything. I have been told (by a friend who knows a friend, etc. but apparently a reliable source) that everyone is expected to 'hail king Marko' and that he treats people, up to and including Horner, as if they are idiots. Success seems to hinge on if Marko likes you. He does like Verstappen and therefore the car has been made for him. However, Max likes a car set up in a very unique way that will not suit most other drivers. Because the car has been developed more and more towards Vertsappen's style, the number two car cannot be adopted to other drivers styles therefore, they have to learn to drive like Verstappen
