Red Bull would 100% take Hamilton, they are just a marketing tool for a fizzy drink afterall. What better than to sign up the best driver from their rival both in f1 and fizzy drinks.
Now that didi is dead the corporate machine will override whingey spice and bogeye.
In what way is Mercedes a rival to Red Bull in fizzy drinks? I know they have Monster as a partner but hardly a title sponsor (in fact, can't see it anywhere on the car just a tiny logo on the neck fastening of the race suits)Now that didi is dead the corporate machine will override whingey spice and bogeye.

Not in addition to Max, no. Like Mercedes wouldn't add Max and Lewis, it is counter to their strategy.Now that didi is dead the corporate machine will override whingey spice and bogeye.

I disagree, I think Max would have him there no problem, he thinks he's superior.
I can think of four or five drivers who would beat MV in similar machinery. I may not have LH at the top of the list, but he's certainly on it.Stealthracer said:

Sad to see Ang leaving, she's been a massive part of Lewis' team and I've no doubt she'll still be a big part of his life. I wonder if she'll have any involvement in the new academy Susie Wolff is heading up. Perhaps in an advisory capacity. If anyone knows how to structure a successful racers life it's her and I'd assume she's built a good relationship with both the Wolff's over the years.
That’s a really good shout, she’d be brilliant at putting together training programmes for the young girls in the Acadamy, getting them in the mindset of being physical athletes. Susie should give her a call this morning. Stealthracer said:

I'm not so sure, the question you have to answer first is why do red bull flatter max so much? They could have just about any driver they want, so why when most TPs are ruthless about drivers are RB "committed" so much to max to the exclusion of all else? It goes significantly beyond any team/driver pairing I've witnessed and yes that includes schu/fez, it's like the team is run for his personal benefit. That it's achieved success in the couple of seasons they've had the top car is besides the point.Now that didi is dead the corporate machine will override whingey spice and bogeye.
I ponder if the answer lies outside the sport and in his fathers relationship with mateschitz, but that would involve what's known as "allegations"
