Thanks for the flag, I've DMed some advice 😊

Max to Mercedes, Russell swaps to Red Bull 😊

You're right - zero ownership but partnership "provide technical expertise in all areas where it can add value".

Alpine/Renault spent a fortune setting up their powertrains and it's not worked so they're out. I don't expect Red Bull (not an OEM) to have the same patience with the current owners.

I'm saying that Max goes to Mercedes and George swaps to Red Bull for 2026, but the car is a handful in all but Max's hands (because he's incredibly talented, and many other talented drivers have failed to get any performance out of it) so they slip down the order.

What's your prediction? Think Red Bull will commit if they're uncompetitive? Bad for marketing!

Thank you!! Got a Williams favourite Jenson Button episode coming up this week 😊

Alonso to Alpine!! Think he'd rather lose a limb 😆 he's said he's done after 26 no matter what happens. Unless he's champion then I'm sure he'd continue

Williams are in a good place with two quality drivers, good leadership and an upwards trajectory. Bring on '26.

Me too. I can't fathom how Toto is able to consider it (I understand why you'd want possibly the best ever driver in your car, but not after their history)

If he gets replaced by Max, where does he go?

Absolutely! Max moves to Mercedes to replace Russell, natural move for Russell is to go to Red Bull, the only possible competitive seat left!

Totally didn't see your post. They're nearly identical 😆
