    That’s on the press, not RB imo. And with a global calender, what is a proper goodbye? You drive in F1 you accept the circus. They are all well paid these days

      not RB imo

      A single official statement on any platform would have done it and they could have said: we tried but it wasn’t what we wanted, wish him luck and send him on his way.

      what is a proper goodbye

      Some helmet swaps and something during drivers parade or before the race start. Fans could have made special posters saying goodbye and thank you for all the memories.

      They are all well paid these days

      Its not about money, its about the memories and sharing moments with people he competed against, loved being around and respected one last time before its over and the circus moves on.
