Or he could just be officially announcing his retirement
Most likely is this, recently they have been strong rumors about this in many known economic forums so my bet is an IPOMcFAN wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 02:02I think it might be an IPO
it could bring significant investment into the F1 operation and would be positive for the whole group

On the other hand they probably wouldn't be briefing F1 media the first, + it's not very exciting is it ?
I dunno it's very intriguing
Is that the same motorsport.com that is in part run by Zak Brown???Ground Effect wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 12:26Would a LeMans entry be very, very exciting news, for Jon Noble, F1 editor for Motorsport.com? Personally. I’d be expecting something with more direct relevance to F1 first, then the larger McLaren Group. So, I’m thinking takeover or buy in by a Manufacturer, with implications for 2025.

The 2025 engine formula is still being discussed. They do want to simplify the power units to an extent but I don't think the details have been finalized.
Its an interesting prospect and one worth putting out there.
Ownership of the Mercedes F1 team is evenly split between Daimler, Wolff, and Ineos, but Mercedes HPP is a separate company that is still a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler. So it's plausible that they could be buying a stake in HPP but it wouldn't be for the first reason you mention. But in this day and age I could definitely see Daimler wanting to divest some part of a company that exists solely to produce racing engines.
I wonder if its significant they appear to have held the event over at the old McLaren HQ building at Albert Drive, which more recently has housed McLaren GT / Customer Racing? On the other hand, perhaps it was just easier to COVID-secure it at that location.
It is definitely F1 related though - the tweets have included the #F1 hashtag and some tweets have confirmed that both drivers and Zak were in attendanceripleysend wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 17:48I wonder if its significant they appear to have held the event over at the old McLaren HQ building at Albert Drive, which more recently has housed McLaren GT / Customer Racing?
