What more could we wish for ?
Didn't we see Max fraternizing with Antonelli this GP or maybe even last GP? (don't remember exactly)
Maybe things have been set in motion before we realise it

Apparently, according to the latest rumours, Max' exit clause for his RBR contract is valid if he is below 3rd place in the summer.

A Wolf chasing after something for two years that can't be caught eventually gives up, RUS is stronger even with an apparently skittish almost uncontrollable car like MAX had and the huge payout for MAX would then not be justified for Merc.

Max' overtake on GAS in the last lap, which was missed in the live broadcast:

Where smoke is ....Is fire (!)

Helmut Marko yesterday : I'm afraid MAX will leave us ..

What Jos said , I cannot say that in English on this forum ..

But maybe in Dutch it won't be too shocking

Als ze MAX zijn auto niet snel beter kunnen maken , dan kan Horner zijn contract in zijn eigen gat steken .

He had more DRS to burn than Gasly and it was good that the team told him to overtake at that particular corner and he obliged

MAX saved more battery power to make his move at the right moment when Gasly's battery power was weak in the last lap. And still it wasn't easy to pass the Alpine with flexible wings ..

There was a moment MAX was P20 in the race ..
Just imagine (!)

Contracts, talks, hearsay and not until Spain the bendy wings will be banned and if the RB 21 is nearly fastest then what, no room at Merc and AM has a long way to go with only Newey to rely on leaving only Ferrari with the hope that LEW retires soon.

My bet is Max will leave F1. Drive the less demanding schedule of WEC and be a Dad.

I don't think he'll leave just because of becoming a dad shortly, he is also step dad to Kelly's daughter.

MAX will be dad at +/- May 6.

And MAX will never leave F1 for that .

Yeah talks and contracts like Raymond Vermeulen got a sort of heavy talk with Horner after the Bahrain GP.
According to inside information , the discussion didn't look pretty ...
Horner walked with a tomato red face..

But actually It's the car , the car is a ticking time bomb and Horner can't change that at this moment.
MAX knows very well , within 3-4 races It's already too late to catch up .
McLaren is also working on new upgrades that make the car even faster while the RB21 is rowing backwards .
The situation looks bad . Really bad (!)
