I wonder how is McLaren viewed now? As a Midfield or as a Top team?
How was Mercedes considered before he joined them? Were there not pundits and all the forum calling him stupid because Mercedes was a terrible team?
What will happen when he will drive for Ferrari? Will they become a Top team again?
