I agree. It's why he's very obviously putting a lot of hope into Antonelli. I think he knows that of the 4-5 big young talents (Max, Charles, Lando, George and Oscar), he has the weakest of the bunch in terms of being a leader and well-rounded driver.But how is he a leader? I’m not even just being a hater here, I think he’s a good driver but he talks out of his backside when it comes to car development, he gives even Toto a run for his money when it comes to delusion, and most races he insists on a strategy that’s beneficial to no one. I actually think Totos well aware he is not That Guy and is panicking a bit now, honestly
Max goes without saying. Charles and Lando have both proved they're ready to fight when they have the car, they have excellent race management and have grown into really good team leaders. They not perfect and have things to learn but that comes with more and more fighting at the front, Oscar is still a bit green but he'll get there as well. George is the same amount of time into F1 as Lando and only a year behind Charles, and while I do believe he's up there with them in speed, he severely lacks in his development compared to the other two, both in terms of race craft/race management and leadership skills.
Even with the car not being amazing, he could have taken these three years with Lewis to learn everything he could from him, and really use Lewis to help him develop, but instead he's spent the entire time trying to one-up him. He's the exact same George who entered the team in 2022. He doesn't seem to have learned anything at all.
