"So what are your thoughts on the contracts? Anything you want to be included or kept out?" Rümeysa asked Fatih after Elena finished giving them a detailed breakdown of the agreed-upon articles. This marked the start of their in-depth discussion, now that they knew Red Bull's position.
"Can we include an article regarding being demoted back to the lower team, or limit it to only being possible when the situation is related to performance?" Fatih asked, knowing how whimsical Red Bull was regarding promoting and demoting their drivers.
Although most of the time their demotions were a result of their ruthless performance expectations for the drivers in their main team, it sometimes led to drivers not being given a full season before being demoted. A good example is Daniil Kvyat, who, despite leading the two Red Bull drivers in the main team and beating Daniel Ricciardo, was instantly demoted after a string of accidents to have Verstappen replace him in the middle of the season.
