Going out on a limb here but if Red Bull doesn't improve their car I'm going with PIA for WDC. I think he is better and more composed than Norris.

IMHO MCL is still a faster than Ferrari. Plus, Ferrari has dug a deep hole to climb out of and more #FerrariThings yet to come

Yes, I think MCL will win both championships IF RBR doesn't get their $hit together. But chances are RBR do and VER wins it.

I don't think either Ferrari driver has a chance

First sensible thing about Ferrari and its drivers I've read. At least you're realistic vs making up wild infinitesimal predictions.

I have a feeling that a deal like that was longer in the making.
Obviously Ferrari wanted him too, but no one gets control in ferrari except the families that are already in control (just like RB I think...). And Newey had been working with AMR for multiple projects, so....you make friends where you work....

What if I don't have 10K lying around next to my Lambo?

I assume this was facetious, but if not, let's bet your lambo and I'll put up the cash for the fair market value of it.

I am, and I won't. If you win, you get the satisfaction of proving me wrong. It's a big deal, because it's so rare.

Multifaceted. The PA story contributed as a facet to the departure decision of Newey.

Unfortunately you can’t really believe anything the BBC says anymore. Such a sad outcome to the once great bastion of truth. They are currently just below a cereal packet as a credible source of information.

I think he’d probably achieved everything he’d ever wanted to achieve at Red Bull and wanted a new challenge. He does have a history with Aston Martin and even still drives around in a V12 VH Vantage. He may even like the colour green.
