FROM THE PRD DEPARTMENT OF MATHMATICAL ODDITIES:
A local man who holds dual doctorates in quantum mechanics and applied mathematics has today announced a temporary leave of absence, after suffering a catastrophic mental breakdown while trying to calculate how the f**k Liam Lawson hasnāt been signed to a full time Formula 1 seat for next year.
Dr. Lee Gahmaibawls, a bloke whose day job involves crunching predictive algorithms for multi billion dollar sovereign wealth funds, was found this morning rocking back and forth on the floor of his terrace, surrounded by three empty longnecks, a stack of telemetry data from the Dutch Grand Prix, and several butchers' paper sheets covered in frantic algebra.
According to family, the incident began during Sunday's debrief, when Gahmaibawls attempted to apply basic deductive logic to the Red Bull driver development academy.
Colleagues confirm Dr. Gahmaibawls had spent the better part of 72 hours attempting to build a linear programming model to understand the Red Bull hierarchy, only to find the variables kept defying the laws of classical physics.
"You run the numbers, and the equation always simplifies down to the exact same result: Just give the bloody Kiwi the keys!" muttered a visibly shaken Gahmaibawls.
At press time, Dr. Gahmaibawls was seen walking into his local bottle shop, having decided that attempting to comprehend Red Bullās driver management pipeline was significantly more dangerous to human sanity than staring directly into a solar eclipse.
