I love how F1 teams/drivers can make these agreements so far in advance. Imagine if MLB did this and Shohei announced he was going to the Dodgers when he was still under contract with the Angels.
Yeah, it creates a bizarre dynamic that hangs over the whole season. But I guess in some ways it's better to know if someone is leaving -- the Angels would have made different decisions if they knew about Shohei!
Good point! Maybe F1 is on to something…
