Therein lays the dilemma for those who want to call RB's bluff and they know it. Trying to replace them at the level they play at would be impossible. I think the other problem is that a many times world champion would be out of a job and that would not be a good look for the sport. If an accommodation for him was made another driver in a top team would have to be given the boot, very messy all round. Putting F1 on a commercial basis has led to the scenario that teams will come and go as they desire and they do not see any loyalty issues to the "sport". Years ago it was enthusiasts such as Williams started out as who had a loyalty and a desire to race for racings sake.
