Rubaru,
You've made some excellent points, but in the end F1 is just like life in the "real world" for the rest of us. Yes, Kvyat was immature when he was at RB, and he's matured since then, but the damage has already been done to his reputation. The same thing happens all the time in business, once your reputation is burnt it takes a long, long time before anybody will take a chance on you again. Fair ? Not at all, but that is reality. We could blame the Teams for promoting unprepared drivers to F1 before their time, but in the end, just like in everything else, it comes down to your reputation and skills, and they need to be there, 100% on display, right from day one in an F1 cockpit. And if your performance is less than expected, you have to expect to pay the price. There's an old cliche that "all is fair in love and war", and F1 certainly qualifies for the war part! The "Generals" of the sport will put their perceived "best weapon" on the point every time, or they'll have to accept that they'll lose. In the end, how we, the spectators/fans feel is completely unimportant to "those who must be obeyed". Racing is, always has been, and always will be a blood sport. If you win, you win. If you lose, the door is over there...
