When he was speaking to David and Mark, and subsequently Ted on his notebook.
He sounded pissed (drunk) and to be honest a bit of a plum. Almost as if the nice respectful PR inclined chap was finally cast aside.
Which is a shame, cause I don't think he's a helmet, but he should have thought a little harder.
Really? I thought his C4 interview was the most 'real' thing I've seen in the F1 paddock all season, great fun. In fact I was thinking what an asset he will be to whatever series he ends up joining/making guest appearances at.He sounded pissed (drunk) and to be honest a bit of a plum.

Anyway, F1 drivers are lightweights... all that training and disciplined eating (no booze)

I bet JB is regretting saying he's done with F1!
Very much doubt it. He's been in F1 for 16 years, won a world title, and by his own admission he's had enough and is looking forward to trying new race series.Not sure why a seat becoming available at Mercedes would suddenly change his mind, there's no guarantee that Mercedes will even be the strongest team next year either.

Pascal Wehrlein to take Nico's seat - JB to help Manor (test/development role/ if not a paid drive). Behind the scenes still maintains a good relationship with Mercedes (ex Honda team) and McLaren tie-in with Manor's development may keep him in it for another year or two?
Apparently Wehrlein has blotted his copy book according to a number of reports. Not quite sure "how" but Ocon is supposed to be the rising star.

JB perfect man for the place at Merc now...
Considering that JB won the title with Brawn, who are now Mercedes, he must already have a relationship with the staff there. He's also known to get along well with Hamilton. His image is good, but different from Hamilton, so it broadens the target market from a marketing standpoint. Merc could do a lot worse.VladD said:

Been there, done that, proven he was competitive. But I just don't think he has the desire to compete at that level anymore.
We'd probably all love him to come back, have a great season and take a 2nd title - but the reality is it just won't happen as Mercedes will favour their star investment.
