I wonder how political it will all get? It is obvious that Ferrari have taken certain measures to strengthen their bargaining position by strengthening their ties with Sauber when they embedded an engineer and seconded KR to the the Team. Haas are also very strongly allied to the Ferrari cause but that goes back to the hard headed business contra deal that got them into F1 in the first place and was never going to be anything different. Am I the only one who questions why KR went to Sauber instead of LeClerc doing another year there? I think it is all tied up with exerting enough influence to ensure Ferrari get their own way.
