I am intrigued because Alonso might suddenly go to Red Bull rather thsn leave quietly or combust falling out with another teamToto has given up on getting Max in a Merc, and they have signed Antonelli - Lewis Hamilton replacement signed with Mercedes announcement imminent - report
Max to Aston is a strong rumour, especially if Newey ends up there - Aston Martin secures Newey F1 deal, target Verstappen – report
I fully agree with your take on Aston: they are not to be taken lightly. By landing Newey they have proven that they’re serious about getting to the top and are willing to put up as much money as the sport will allow to get there. I felt the same re. Newey’s probable choice because of the relocation issue (not to understate the control issues that are also involved). As fans we tend to think more along the lines of just his F1 life. So, it’s easy to forget the all-important reality that he and his family would have to live their daily lives in the place where he was working—in other words, move to another country that has a different culture and a different language. I kind of thought that at this stage of his life he probably wouldn’t really want to do that, despite how intrigued he was about working for Ferrari.@FB i would say never underestimate Aston martin they remind me of Red Bull 20yrs ago. in that they are chucking money at it. when everyone was sidetracked by the romantic notion of ferrari. i thought dont discount Aston martin because they can match Newey's Ferrari offer & doesnt have relocate
the bar has moved slightly in that its Verstappen Russell might be compared against so either George knocks Max down a pedestal which means Jos intervenes or he will be asked to play No 2I think Russell is excellent and that anyone who questions that forgets that his teammate is the G.O.A.T. I would argue Russell is the only one other than Alonso who could keep Hamilton on his toes. Russell is better than Button.
Jos has no influence. Horner has shown everyone that. I don’t think Toto would give him any more time.the bar has moved slightly in that its Verstappen Russell might be compared against so either George knocks Max down a pedestal which means Jos intervenes or he will be asked to play No 2
Oh yes he does its the reason Red Bull wont sign Carlos Sainz because the hassles Jos gave at Toro Rosso. Sticking with Perez makes Horner look weak if Red Bull lose constructors and drivers. Horner should be considering Lawson or Tsunoda but wont either to massage Verstappen's ego. Jos is talking to Toto about his son joining you can bet that making him no1 is a big requirement. If Toto is not interested he would have announced the Merc seat now.Jos has no influence. Horner has shown everyone that. I don’t think Toto would give him any more time.
Okay well in that case Mercedes is not a serious team.Oh yes he does its the reason Red Bull wont sign Carlos Sainz because the hassles Jos gave at Toro Rosso.

the more i think about it the more i think Verstappen will head to aston martin. just because of logistics. heres my logic that may or may not age very badlyCan we start 2025 silly season yet ?
