Martin Brundle: "We have a grid that looks like a boy band!" 🤣
Alonso and Hamilton will like that comment.

I remember seeing the end of that 2017 thing in London, just stumbled upon it by accident.
Those were the good old days, V12/10/8 20000 RPM's, Murray Walker on FTA TV, not having to PAY for it, with sometimes Alan Jones, Barry Sheene etc as well. Stay up late or set the VCR.
Could even get tickets to the event on the day in ADL or MEL.
 
VER to Mercedes in 2026 ?….. “ no smoke without fire “ 😮

It’s so interesting what the possibilities could be:
- VER leaves Fed Full and goes where? It would have to be where he considers the best chance to be #1 driver and a competitive car, so probably Merciless.
- RUS won’t be happy, as he’s just got rid of Sir HAM to become the #1 there. Could he play second fiddle?
- Would they shaft ANT back to being a reserve driver? Then what happens to BOT cough?
- who in their right mind, seeing both LAW and TSU struggle, would want a Fed Full seat to replace VER? Now admittedly it wouldn’t be the cursed number two car, but who knows where the RBR and VCARB musical chairs will stop next year.
- You’d have to think Cadillac will be offering big $ for a known star to take their #1 seat. Maybe that becomes a new spot for RUS?

EDIT:
I now see there’s plenty of speculation…

Maybe a straight VER- RUS seat swap ?
