Pretty much need changeable weather for races to bring surprises now, great tactics for Hulkenberg and Stroll. Once it dried out everybody started sliding back to their expected positions.

Rumors about Mercedes trying to sign Verstappen for next year increasing again today. He's under contract until the end of 2028 but might well have an opt out and in any case, bags of cash make all sorts of moves possible in F1.

He's meeting with Toto today.

Red Bull have lost a massive number of the best people in F1 in a very short span of time. Not only the big names, but also a lot of other people who worked with them. I predict this team will be lucky to be a midfield team for quite some time after this.

Reminds me of when Luca di Montezemolo threw away F1's most successful team and driver because he wanted it to be an all Italian show.

I'm surprised it's only Mercedes going after him. Maybe the others don't want to pony up the big bucks for him. I keep hoping he'll do Lemans and go to WEC. He does a lot of simming in the Hypercars.

Yeah he seems to have mentally checked out already, he was surprisingly calm after getting taken out in Austria. Wouldn't surprise me to see him follow Adrian Newey to Aston Martin. Stroll's dad is throwing all the money in the world at that team and Newey's track record is unparalleled.

Max Verstappen's net worth is over 200 mil so he's long reached the point where he can take a pay cut if he has to.
