I will be sad to see Carlos go, he is good driver and he has good chemistry with Lando and the team.....
On the other hand, I would love to see Daniel in Mclaren
My sentiments exactly, Daniel isn’t a bad replacement at all. I’m just a bit worried about his salary though, especially since McLaren would loose Estrella Galicia
Yes that is true, but with everything going on in the world, especially with the economic downfall I guess RIC would consider to sing for lessGround Effect wrote: ↑13 May 2020, 14:18My sentiments exactly, Daniel isn’t a bad replacement at all.

Well, they weren't that big to begin with and I'm sure sponsors would rather have Ricciardo or Vettel in the car than Sainz.Ground Effect wrote: ↑13 May 2020, 14:18My sentiments exactly, Daniel isn’t a bad replacement at all.

Let’s just hope he hasn’t lost his voicebauc wrote: ↑13 May 2020, 14:31Yes that is true, but with everything going on in the world, especially with the economic downfall I guess RIC would consider to sing for lessGround Effect wrote: ↑13 May 2020, 14:18My sentiments exactly, Daniel isn’t a bad replacement at all.

If Andrew Benson talks about it, then it’s as good as done
Good point! and it IS the same order...Ground Effect wrote: ↑13 May 2020, 18:06Incredible that Carlos F1 career has mirrored Fernando’s in terms of teams: Minardi (which was Toro Rosso), Renault, McLaren, Ferrari. Not in exactly the same order of course, but quite interesting!
Mclaren can’t afford to have 2 rookies in the team at the same time... You “need” an experience driver... Both Norris and Russell have one season each in F1... Too soon for that pairing.ENGINE TUNER wrote:Why would McLaren want Vettel? With Merc engines coming in they should have an eye on Russell if anyone if Sainz departs. Russell in a horrible Williams crashes less than Vettel in the 2nd best car on the grid. Russell and a discount on Merc engines is a better deal than Vettel on $5M+.genarro wrote: ↑12 May 2020, 12:21if we lose Sainz then its a simple matter of convincing Vettel to take the vacant McLaren seat. Vettel knows that McLaren wont give him a 40 mill salary they just have to convince him that McLaren is a project that can deliver. If they convince him that he will win again with McLaren he will take a small salary
There is an article in THE RACE that he is very fond of F1's history so he probably considers McLaren a great name in the sport (https://the-race.com/formula-1/what-f1- ... ompletely/)
