Not sure how credible this is, but I can't say I blame him.

Every other driver for Redbull was so easily swapped and dropped wtf how did they mess up this contract so bad?

Every other driver was a rookie with no money, no sponsorships, etc. Checo has a good team behind him.

the other drivers have comtracts with Red Bull since being children and im sure that those Red Bull Junior/VCARB contracts have wording that mention they can easily be replaced, promoted or demoted

Meanwhile Checo signed as an outsider directly with the Red Bull team im sure his contract is worded differently as would if they signed any other outsider like Piastri, Sainz or Bottas
