I genuinely have no clue why Max would ever leave to Mercedes, even if RedBull falls apart.
Max, who has been in this sport for nearly 10 years, who joined as a fucking teenager and is already more successful than half the grid.
Max, who is basically already a 4 time WDC.
Max, who might overtake Fangio statistically.
Max, who has made it clear that his passion lies with motorsport overall and that he wants to driver other categories because he is still fucking young! This man ain't even 30 yet and he has already basically secured himself in the top 5 when looking at statistics.
If Max is really questioning staying at RedBull, he will simply just leave after next season on probably the biggest high anyone can imagine.
Hell, he could driver anywhere else for a few years, come back and still be younger than some drivers on the current grid.
Max has nothing to prove. I am not even a fan and I know that he is already in the GOAT discussion.
I am not even a fan and I know he is arguably one of the bests drivers we have seen this/the last decade.
I also know that Max Verstappen severely clashes with the Mercedes imagine. He promotes his Iracing, he manages teams on there etc. Meanwhile Mercedes as a result of having Lewis and having Lewis push them, has cultivated a culture that is set to promote motorsport for everyone, that has made it a point to explicitly promote various programmes to racing. This is not meant as hate for Max but we know he is a racer at heart and not like Lewis, someone who wants to branch out of F1, go beyond your typical racing imagine. It's why both of them are basically the representation for their individual team.
Max is also currently seeing the whole fuck up that Mercedes did to lose Lewis, a driver who has swore his loyalty to Mercedes again and again. Max can see how Mercedes as a team is struggling, how much effort they are focusing on Kimi (a kid who hasn't even had a full season of F2) to get into F1. Not to mention he knows that George was set out to be Mercedes next big driver. Do you honestly think Max would go into an environment that has so clearly shown how much effort they are putting into rushing their academy driver into F1?
Max would not go to a team that honestly hasn't given him any sign until this season that they would truly want him. Max would not stupidly agree to a team that we have all seen get worse and worse over the season.
If Max leaves RedBull, he leaves F1. There is not a doubt in my mind that Max Verstappen will leave this sport with RedBull. It has never been in question for me.
And to be fair, Max has every right to leave. He is a multiple WDC. He is still in his prime. He is not even 30.
I firmly believe that Max will leave F1 with RedBull and then go on to win in many other racing categories. I don't doubt that he will win Le Mans or be an endurance champion. There are so many different racing categories I see him in before I would ever see him as a Mercedes driver.
And this isn't like Lewis to Ferrari where I also couldn't believe it. Mercedes were struggling, we were all actively seeing how they were failing to meet their drivers need. While I didn't think Lewis would go to Ferrari, his decision to leave Mercedes is still regardless of his future stint the absolute right one. Mercedes is a sinking ship honestly and I truly do not believe they will get back on track the next years. Lewis knew that his only other shot for a WDC would be with another team and he made the smart decision to get out, to fulfill a childhood dream that most drivers have. Lewis leaving Mercedes after their failings was always a when, not an if.

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 : #KANG SEULGI | CISFEMALE | SHE/HER | BISEXUAL - EUNJI MIN is a TWENTY-TWO year old AUDIO ENGINEER STUDENT & DANCER AT DD’S that moved into apartment B2 a good TWO YEARS ago. the CAPRICORN has been in town for THREE YEARS overall and is well known around seattle ridge for being +CONFIDENT and +PERSISTENT, but has a reputation of being -STOIC and -MOODY. guess that’s why they call them the PARIAH around these parts!
i know i know, i’ve done this many times already but a new face means a new personality, so here’s an updated eunji !! ( everyone who liked my plotting post i left on her, i will soon hit up your dms to plot !! )
𝐢. 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 :
eunji min was born on january 3rd, 1997 in palm springs, california
a boring, hot, and pretentious city she’ll never go back to, mark her words
she comes from a family of two, her and her mom and that’s it
her mom can’t tell her who her dad is because well, she can’t remember which of her bfs knocked her tf up with eunji !!
her upbringing was something else, her mom not being the best in regards to raising her properly but eunji will be damned before she lets anyone talk badly about her
her mom owns a hair/nail salon which is good business but deffo not always how the bills were paid, her mom having uh other means of getting by through her bfs/men she talks to
so there were definitely times when eunji would come crawling out of her room for breakfast to see some guy sitting on her couch to which she would have a stare off with before crawling back to bed, deciding she wasn’t hungry anymore
school was a whole other thing, eunji didn’t really have many friends for a variety of reasons that people were quick to judge her ( which, she doesn’t blame them, eunji judges everyone else ) making her out to be a bitch due to her resting bitch face or that she thought she was better than everyone else
when really, eunji just stayed in her lane and if thats what they thought of her then it just be like that, she has no reason to stress about opinions from people she doesn’t talk to
at one point during her highschool career she moved out from her moms, it was her sophomore year and her and her mom got into the biggest fight regarding one of her many bfs and well, her mom took the boyfriend’s side instead of her daughter’s.....so eunji packed up and moved in with her cousin up in l.a halfway through her sophomore year and she finished hs there whilst working retail jobs here and there to help her cousin with rent/bills
in hs she took dance classes, both in and out of school and the only reason she could afford out of school was because her cousin was given free classes due to her job that she passed on to eunji instead because she had no time what with bar tending and then working shifts at denny’s trying to make ends meet, she thought her little cousin should live a little, like a TEENAGER and enjoy things
those dance classes became everything to eunji, and within them she met someone who also took pole dancing and told eunji all about it ( this is necessary for later on ) all she needed was a parent or guardian signature to let her in, and those were classes she paid for herself with the money she saved up that didnt go to necessities or bills
anyways, l.a was a whole new world to her. it was dirty, it was packed, the traffic was shit and the streets smelled gross and yet she loves it, she loves it more than she could ever love palm springs because no one cares there, and theres more culture and she can easily get lost and find her way back again
so shes been grinding from a young age, trying to make it on her own and become independent
𝐢𝐢. 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 :
when eunji graduated she had applied to berkley, ucla and one out of state university ( ahem, here in seattle ridge ) and whereas she was accepted to all three, the moment she saw the acceptance for seattle she was quick to pack up and LEAVE
her first year was spent in a dorm before she finally moved out -- but during that year she was working 2 jobs, one at the dinner and then one at a gas station and it was TERRIBLE for her health
so, the second semester after having saved enough for an apartment, she auditioned for DD’s dancers and got a callback and finally got a job there which, due to her talent she manages to make MORE than she did working both jobs which is great because she has school and bills to pay for and all her things and her SAVINGS
up at 6am for a 7am class which she gets out at 2pm and then homework and then a shift at work and then its just rinse and repeat from there
she has aspirations of becoming a producer, maybe throw in some vocals but the vocals part is just a fantasy so she’d rather stick to making beats that reflect her personal style
it had started out as a hobby, something a guy once taught her in hs and HE SUCKED but she ( being the fast learner she is ) got the hang of it QUICK and fell in love with it
𝐢𝐢𝐢. 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 :
think donna from the 70s show lowkey, lowkey
she’s reserved, sometimes even shy when she meets new people despite her confidence when shes on stage or in private room dancing for someone
but, shes definitely not afraid to be upfront and if she doesn’t like you she lets you know
her sarcasm could be taken literally sometimes which isn’t good because it’s just how she is, her humor is a little dark and sometimes mean and some ppl dont take well to that
and her tolerance for people runs slim anyway
but that’s only if she finds you irritating and unbearable, shes known to clash with people
once you get past that though, shes actually very caring to the point where she takes care of others more than she takes care of herself
shes the friend that when everyone is drunk shes drunk too but taking care of you and making sure you have a bag to throw up in, or holding your hair back, or rubbing your back while intoxicated herself
you kinda just, have to keep peeling at her layers
𝐢𝐯. 𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂 :
2000s vibes !!!!! but a little edgy and modernized !!!
think suki from fast and furious ( hehe thanks rox ) !!!!
baby phat fan !!!
sunglasses, redbull with a straw, lip gloss and hoops are all she needs !!!!
her music taste is early/modern r&b and grunge, some pop here n there
her current hairstyle is bad boy era seulgi !!! bangs are a look !!!
𝐯. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 :
the jackie to her donna ( 0/1 ) : basically complete opposites that somehow stuck together and are what people would consider best friends because they’re always there for each other despite eunji sometimes finding the other slightly annoying but with FONDNESS, 10/10 eunji will stab someone for them that hurt them
hook-ups ( 0/2 ) : nothing more nothing less, they dont even need to get a long but someone or some people to blow off steam with before they’re each back to minding their own business until that one late night call, definitely no feelings because eunji wont allow it !!
enemies/frenemies ( as many lol ) : eunji isn’t bound to get along with everybody, be it whether they find her to be too sarcastic, or she comes off bitchy or eunji doesn’t like them be it for the most dumbest reason or because she doesn’t like their personality, etc i just want shade, and shit-talking, some drama here and there
regulars at her job ( uhh idk ) : people who request her daces at work, it doesn’t have to mean anything they could just be friends who support her or hey maybe they’re trying to get something out of it, the possibilities are endless i fink
i could write more but it’s literally 6 minutes before 4am so i gotta publish this ahksjdhfk but feel free to hmu or like this ig and i’ll slide into those dms !!!
