Re: Silly Season 2025
I completely disagree. "IF" the idea is to bring in another STRONG driver into Red Bull simply to play a vastly superior to Checo Rear Gunner, then the stupid decision is to go ther, as opposed to a team that wants Sainz in order to build the team around him because they believe in his ability.

Re: Silly Season 2025
Sainz would be incredibly stupid to take the Audi drive over an absolute certain WDC shot in a Red Bull in 2025. If Audi don't get Sainz they'll likely pair 38 year old Hulkenberg with 36 year old Bottas. It's not like the Audi opportunity isn't going to come back around. I completely disagree. "IF...

We see it now play out in the open. What do you imagine goes on behind closed doors? Maybe nothing, but the risk factor of disharmony within the team would certainly increase with them around.
