Who could have seen this coming?

I can’t say it’s a surprise, but I excepted Otmar to last until the end of the season

I assume the new CEO joined and immediately did all the things he had been wanting to do for ages.

100%

Very much feels like a cleaning house operation. And Rossi had made some questionable decisions. It’ll be interesting if they go a drastically different direction on anything

I really hope this means that they are more serious about F1. But only time will tell.

It's Renault, I expect that the board will expect magical results from the new CEO with exactly 0 extra in the budget. We'll have to wait and see. Public opinion when they hired Otmar was that it was a good move for the team too.

This are my fears as well… but it’s just so bizarre, the whole situation.
