I wonder if the sport is also struggling in general. Nico's poor reaction to pressure seems similar to F1's flailing about in terms of changing rules. Qualifying formats? Radios? Track limits? Penalties? Some of the reasons being given seem half baked at best. Drivers going directly to Charlie, teams going directly to Bernie. It doesn't sound like well tuned machine. Perhaps attendance, ratings and sponsorships are not looking so good.
