If I were Jos Verstappen, I'd call my friend Toto. I'd tell him there's another top tier driver, except this one would drive for half of Hamilton's salary.
But I guess he did that 3 years ago and it didn't work

Most valued thread.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:37
Max shoud offer himself for free to Merc.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:37
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:38
Sigh. Unfortunately it’s not out of the realm of possibility. I would prefer if Max would just have patience.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:38
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:40
Is Max leaving? Sounds good to me.
Where is he going?
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:42
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:43
Which is when?Merc , first chance
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:45
Got a feeling Max wouldve been higher up in the championship had he been in the racing point or McLaren.

I don’t think so. Trp and Mclaren’s chassis are light years behind Red Bull.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:50
Nice title, but he has no options until Mercedes decide it's time to let Lewis go. Also I'm pretty sure Max is under contract.

Wrong. The cars will be the same next season. The rules state that 2020 cars will be used for 2021 as well.TRP next year will probably have this years Merc ...
Lets see Seb against RBhondas against that lol !
Good luck 😉

There's probably an exit clause that he can use.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:55
That's no use if Hamilton does a Valentino Rossi and races into his 40s lolThere's probably an exit clause that he can use.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:56
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:57
He is in his 6th season, with 4 full season with a “title” contender. How much patience someone should have?
It’s crystal clear, if he wants a title, he needs to switch to a Mercedes powered team.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 14:57
What about Bottas?That's no use if Hamilton does a Valentino Rossi and races into his 40s lol

Upgrades are not the same as using a different car.They can’t bring upgrades mid season ? They already do as of now
Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:02
What about him? Isn't the problem pairing Lewis and Max together?What about Bottas?
Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:03

Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:04
now this is a good topic title
but yeah, Verstappen should offer himself to Mercedes by demanding less pay than either Bottas and Hamilton and saying: great results for less money guys.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:39
In my opinion Hamilton vs Verstappen at Mercedes would be the only thing which could save Formula 1 from boringness.

You’re definitely not alone on that one.In my opinion Hamilton vs Verstappen at Mercedes would be the only thing which could save Formula 1 from boringness.

Not gonne happen. Hamiltons records are priority now.
Is this a serious statement?
Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:49

yes? It is what it is. Merc are going for records with Hamilton. They won't sign Max.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:49

Toto is going to Aston Martin. Toto can get him a seat there.

They don't need Verstappen.

Posted 13 September 2020 - 15:56
They dont because they are miles ahead of the competition. Its a big shame. Days ilke today must be boring even for Lewis' fans I am sure.
Judging by this forum, they definitely aren't

If you found today boring just because of who won, you need to have a long hard look at yourself.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 16:01
2022 is earliest before Max can jump the ship. That too is of very little chance.
Posted 13 September 2020 - 16:04
I never understood all of these, "Max will be fed up and leave posts".
Of course he would leave to Merc, but he would have left there years ago if would have been possible. Other than that, he is by far the best place, he could be.
So I don't really see the point of these threads, as there are no options for him at the moment.

So everybody who cares about who won has an issue?

Should knee jerk threads be retained in 2020?
This is hardly knee-jerk......
this is 5 years in the making....

What has to happen before you consider criticizing Red Bull?
Posted 13 September 2020 - 16:23

2 very possible wins lost in 9 races isn't a knee-jerk.
Being denied a strong title challenge, once again, isn't a knee-jerk.
