But also, this is not a spec series with equal machinery. The talent has never been the *only* deciding factor. There are other talented drivers who are/were also talented and capable of fighting for championships if given the right car. The team matters. The car matters. (ask alonso)

Charles has had the opportunity to ditch Ferrari on multiple occasions. He wants to be the Ferrari champion, which is admirable. He knows the shortcomings of the organisation. Still, he chose to extend his contract every single time rather than moving on to a team that can give him the competitive car.

I think it is about time we collectively accept that he doesn't want to be a champion if not with Ferrari.
