very bad situation
The guy looks just done with this team, and rightly so. He should be at mercedes, finishing 30+ seconds ahead of everyone.

Nah, he still cares. A lot.
One can see that but it's a tricky one.
I think he really wants to stay but likely not sure what to do.

Two main issues,

Team are not listening to him.

Wache is not sharing important data with GP, which puts the team and Max at a disadvantage.

What can Max do in this situation...

I'm still impressed Red Bull are as competitive as they are with a whole new regulation set after losing all the technical people they have. Really expected them to be closer to midfield without Newey with a clean sheet design. That said, it still looks like they're relying a lot on previous RB/Newey concepts. And having FIVE sidepod iterations from testing through to half season is something I've never seen before. So it's not all sunshine and rainbows, but still, Max is regularly challenging for podiums.
