Genuine Question for Checo Fans…

(Yes this is a repost, posted on an alt at first 🫡)

Given his recent struggles and inconsistent performances with Red Bull, what are the strongest reasons you believe he still deserves a seat on the team? Looking for honest, thoughtful answers-what makes him the right driver to continue alongside Max Verstappen? I know his financial support is the most frequently brought up one, but isn't his support made null by the fact he lost them 2 entire places in the constructors? Going from 1st place money to 3rd. Obviously us redditors have zero impact on his career & staying on the team, but l'm just genuinely curious why some fans might still think he should be on the team.
