Is it important in this season or two seasons of mass exodus of Red Bull where everyone seems to be going elsewhere? voice-verified

This is at least an example of someone who is clearly well respected in the paddock actually moving to Red Bull. voice-verified

Could it encourage others? voice-verified

And it's a statement of intent in that it's not just fulfilling a, I don't know, a technical role or an aero role, chassis role. voice-verified

It's a future voice-verified

So I think that's a great get for Mechies. voice-verified

And who knows, maybe it could prompt other people at Mercedes to move across. voice-verified

Even if you go to Ferrari and say Charles Leclerc, I know he hasn't won a title, but that is a success story in terms of winning races. voice-verified

And Berman looks good. voice-verified

And Berman looks short. voice-verified
