#And how much they've invested in george/kimi

[yesterdayiwrote]

two cents here and to say something to the other blog saying this is toto's way of getting 'revenge' / 'back' at lewis..

but the 'toto is obsessed with max because he's desperate to have him in his team' would go to every team too because they would sacrifice anyone to have someone like max in their team, the only difference is that toto talks about it in the media to which it gets talking and people talking about it too while other tp's don't YET they want too and would love to have him in their team ( and are thinking as well ) .

like let's be honest, ferrari would have sacrificed either carlos or charles too for max to drive the prancing horse, hell mclaren would have had sacrificed oscar for max, like i said any team would sacrifice one driver in order to get max to drive for her

Like I've said before, yes, I understand how the 'idea' of having max would be tempting for any team. Ferrari did sacrifice Carlos, for Lewis not Max but would they really have kicked out Charles? I think that's unlikely.

And in terms of McLaren, I think the situation we're looking at here would be more equivalent to Zak dropping hints that Lando would be the one out of a seat, which would definitely be odd.

But in either case, if either TP did start talking up how much they wanted Max, do you think Charles/Lando/Oscar fans would be sitting around going "Oh yeah, great decision, definitely comfortable with my driver losing his seat for that to happen! I welcome the possibility!" Quite obviously they would be pissed off about it too?

And yeah, take Lewis to Ferrari as an example. Fred didn't spend two years telling the media how he'd drop either of his drivers if he could get Lewis. He didn't even tell the media they'd been speaking to Lewis, because he quite clearly respected Carlos and casting doubt on his future that far out doesn't do anyone any favours.

Toto was more coy when talking about Valtteri's future and we all KNEW he was losing his seat? Everyone's been deigning James Vowles to the pits of hell for shopping around Logan's seat so publicly, but what, it's suddenly okay if it's Max you're talking about signing? (Sorry anon - I know you said other TPs don't talk about it openly so not aimed at you as such I just got on a roll)
