I'm very surprise with the fact that Adrian accepted design a car for Lance Stroll. But, if he starts working at Aston Martin next year, maybe the team can do a better season than this year.
He would design a car for Satan if Lawrence still paid 30 million, gave him shares, gave him authority over his dept. and some people who tried to run away from him (Fallows CANNOT be happy), allowed him to remain at home, etc.
Lance is no all-time great, but it 100% beats designing cars at Williams for better drivers with a much shittier infrastructure. Or having to move to Italy (which anyone not willing to do is clearly insane, but that's another matter) when he does not want to, having to play office politics at Ferrari, etc.
It's not insane to not want to move away from friends and family, uproot your immediate family, and move somewhere where you don't speak the language, is culturally different, and might be a lot hotter than what you're used to in a way that you don't like.
If it really was insane to not want to do that, when the UK was in the EU and had free movement you would've seen millions of people moving to Italy (especially considering the vastly cheaper housing). And we'd be seeing it from other EU countries even now. But we aren't. There's more to life than hot weather and nice food.
Not comparable because not everyone in the UK was going to be paid millions and millions while doing it. Also, that was hyperbole, sorry if it was not explicit.
I uprooted my family for five years and it was a brilliant experience for everyone. My kid speaks four languages, we learned a bunch of new ways of thinking and living, and expanded ourselves quite a bit. It has tough moments no doubt, but it is worth it, especially for the kids.
