    Max needs the Mercedes seat - otherwise he will not be able to win a WT. Even if they freeze the engine and they can keep the Honda I do not think anybody will catch Mercedes in the near future....

    Oh yes,

    The MB is sooo superior. When they do the onboard shots during qualifying and the race the MB is so planted and stable, hardly any steering wheel snaps. With the RB, you can see Max constantly trying to tame it. It not nearly as planted and obviously hasn’t got the straight line speed of the MB

    Max in the MB. Hamilton would meet his match and more, imo. It’ll,be Smiley to Hamilton Smiley

    Re: [2020] Formula 1

    I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Lewis has more experience in a Merc than Max, plus Lewis has nothing to prove really,

    he’s almost at the end of his career with 6 world titles (and a 7th under way and maybe more?) while Max has yet to prove that he is a world champion (because there are also Leclerc etc.) Can he really live up to the hype? We’ll see once Lewis retires.

    Earliest Max can even have a snuff at a seat at Mercedes would be when Lewis retires. Which, could be in a couple years, after he wins his 8th or 9th championship. Pretty sure Lewis have his sight on winning next year to take the record by himself instead of sharing with Schumacher. Best guess is he is 50-50 on racing in 2022.

    Even then, I am not sure if Horner will let go of his golden goose. 

    Plus, with new regulation going into effect in 2022, Mercedes may not be the car to beat anymore.

    Horner has no say as he has a exit clause if RB does not give him a winning car. It would be fun to see LH and MV battling in front - at least take some boredom out.....

    It’s nice that Bottas is P1, but as most of the time I think Lewis will turn it around... yeah would be nice to see Max in that car against Lewis I think we would have a decent season with a decent fight for the championship. Unfortunately Max will not drive that car and the only chance I see for Red Bull or any other competitor is in the 2022 season, when the big changes in regulations will come... until then mail

    Awesome wasn’t it.

    Listened to the press conference yesterday and Gasly was clearly pissed with RB not offering him a drive back in 21.

    They have looked to touch base with Perez though. Perez in a RB, that would be very interesting Smiley

    I also would love to see Nico with RB next year... but Gusly is killing it really what a performance... Alex is really a dissapointment . 

    Regarding Seb I think you are right... he is done this year... and I also belive that they dont gove him the same material as Charles in order to keep new stuff confidentioal ( although... who needs to know what makes the Ferarri so slow )

    Re: [2020] Formula 1

    In life you need more than just talent and brain.. you need also luck. Hamilton has it all, but he was anyway faster than Bottas so why take it away from him that he again delivered? He is already WDC for the 7th time, and unfortunately nothing and nobody can challenge it. Ham is a way better driver than Bot overall, he’s got the same material but has no chance, IMO the potion difference is way to big,
