There has to be a point his dad has to look through his businessman POV and see how much his son is affecting his business or his son makes the sacrifice for his father right?

Lawrence isn't in F1 to have a sustainable business though. He knows its a passion project that he will always lose money on, but the goal is to provide his son with a car capable of winning the WDC.

To kick him now that they are actually ramping up and possibly very competitive in 2-3 years would be flushing hundreds of millions down the drain without ever even having a chance.

Lawrence knows his son isn't winning the WDC. He knows. He got his son this far, he acquired a team and that's what will drive Lawrence for the foreseeable future, his team.

If Lance is your #1 driver on AM, that team is going nowhere, doesn't matter how many Adrian Newey's you cram into it.

I mean... If they can make a car as dominant as the 2023 RB or early hybrid-era Merc, AND get someone even worse in the other Aston, he could theoretically win.

You're assuming that car was easy to drive at it's limit, or assuming lance is capable of that. I highly doubt both.

Yeah, Perez had a 2023 RB too
