I think Zak would tell his mother to hit the bricks if he were to be able to sign Max.
Seems he likes collecting drivers like feathers in his cap these days.

Piastri and Lando are probably equal. Take one and leave the other. Zak really likes a winner too.

If Max is looking for an out everyone is going to take a shot at him and run up the price for whoever ends up signing him.

If Max wants to be on your team and you can afford him then you have to find a spot.

Zak is a marketing guy, and Max is way more marketable than Piastri. Huge sponsorship opportunities. Huge merch opportunities. Orange for McLaren. Orange for the Dutch. It's a match made in marketing heaven.

At this point Max doesn’t do many marketing or sponsorship days. I’m sure McLaren would love to put him in their new LMDH hyper car for lemans but are they gonna let him run the GT races? Is he gonna stop drinking redbulls and start pounding monsters?

Looks like the FIA is considering punishing Ferrari because Red Bull can’t figure out their Macarena wing.

That is a disgusting photo. Max belongs at Red Bull.

If there's anybody who would be perfect in orange...

Sounds crazy thinking about it but is Oscar definitely better than Lawson and Hadjar?

Can't wait. Oh man, the mind games Max is gonna play with Lando...

This may be the best test we've seen for Max in many, many years.

I do think Oscar is better than Lawson and Hadjar right now if for no other reason than he has experience at the front fighting for championships.

Would rather Max go to Merc and kick Russell out of his. The crying would be glorious.

George better get it together fast. I think he will be in the merc next year but he might not be in F1 after that if he doesn’t improve his form.

Would we even know that Mercedes has built a rocket if Kimi wasn’t in the team?

It is a big IF, but if George doesn't have his car shite the bed in Canada he is leading the world championship right now.

And if Kimi’s car didn’t break while running down Leclerc last weekend, he’d have another 25 points

Also true.

I was addressing the implication that Russell is performing like shite this year.

On Conor Daly’s Speed Street podcast, Pato O’Ward said he has asked to be relieved from his F1 reserve/test responsibilities with McLaren. He wants a little more of an offseason, enjoys INDYCAR and wants to focus on his training and the 2027 INDYCAR season.

A shame considering Alex Palou is a genuine, serious talent and F1 is too political to give him a second shot at a decent team.

What’s his face in F2 can’t be seriously used as a benchmark since he was never competitive with Palou because no one is even close.
