Had they said something short and to the point, like 'The incident was discussed with our team drivers and the matter has been handled internally. We look forward to continued success as a team'. No names, no details, KIM. But considering the outright lying and contorting to make Max sound like a good guy and he and Red Bull as the victims in all this is insultingly bad.

Hell, they would be better off taking Marshawn's playbook and kept saying 'I'm just here not to get fined' when Kravitz does the interviews

I think he's in for at least another year (can't remember if he signed for 2 or 3 years at RB). Driver shakeups usually don't start rolling around until the summer break, and it's too early to read any tea leaves and tell which driver may decide to hang it up or who's under threat of getting sacked by the team.
