idk about you but I'm really not liking all this l**do talk about going to red bull and how helmut is after his agent and his dad and how he's SO FUNNY MUCH TROLL and started to follow them... I don't like it

i agree with you but here's the thing-

1) lando would literally never in a million years. mclaren is literally built around him and him alone, in what world would his fragile ego allow him to leave that dream scenario just to play second fiddle to max. and that's not even getting into the zak/quadrant or his dad's team investment of it all!! plus with the silverstone result, you just knooooowww he's fully back in on the bullshit zak brown has been selling about properly challenging in 2025 (if he was ever truly on it to begin with, which i doubt 😭)....and at that point, again, why leave just to be second to somebody else

2) helmut marko is squarely to blame for this entire fucking NVD situation. both the hiring AND firing were his doing, it was his idea to go outside of the red bull system based on one (1) single result, and at that point you have to wonder if he has enough leverage in the team right now to be pushing for yet another outside hire, especially when you've got christian (and camp verstappen!) seemingly backing daniel, who's quite literally waiting in the wings

#full delusions ahead but all this stuff about charles lando alex....i'm choosing to believe it's just smokescreen #did they actually make inquiries? yeah i'm sure they did. but did they know that their inquiries were with the most drank-the-kool-aid #would-never-in-a-milion-years-say-yes drivers on the entire fucking grid? i mean.....#i just think hypothetically if you've got daniel ricciardo in your sim and he's getting better and better each time he's in there #to the point where he's EXTREMELY competitive and he's giving you exactly what you wish you were seeing from your current second driver #sure maybe there's still question marks and sure maybe you put some feelers out just for due diligence on your options #but at the end of the day.....you've got the solution looking for a problem right there at home......#and so after you've put him in the car and he gave you exactly what you wanted to see and you responded in kind by giving him a seat #but it kinda got away from you and the narrative of it all was really fucking ugly #idk!!! it might be advantageous to start seeding your next move NOW #and letting everyone know that it's fucking OVER for your second driver you're interested in literally anyone else #so that when *that* happens it's less of a shock #hypothetically speaking #silly season23 #red bull redux #for the tags #answered #anonymous #i'm going full delusion for the next 7 days idc #i've been nursing this one all day i had to get it out
