#performance doesn't just skyrocket like that especially at the detriment of their teammate without something shady going on

so no one finds it odd that the guy who was 20-4 down in qualifying last season, and, honestly, had no solid win that wasn't at the expense of his teammate... is now constantly winning races with a significant gap between him in first and the car in second? meanwhile the teammate who outperformed expectations in 2024, finished ahead, was p2 in the wdc standings and was the reason why mclaren really won that constructors, is struggling with the car (and still doing a damn great job at delivering)? no one is even sitting down to think 'that doesn't make any fucking sense' because it doesn't?
