People were looking to the...

latest big rumor and thinking oh it must be this this just happened thing so now it's like taken on a whole new life of its own and people thinking max is going to go to mclaren which at this stage i think is a pretty insane swap feels like a sideways step mclaren um but maybe maybe you know they always know more about the the future and maybe max feels uh because i certainly do that red bull maybe are on the

a slight downward slump uh with they've obviously hit the heights may have they got anyone still working for them well yeah well yeah not even slight but they're they're on the way down they'll they'll find their way back up but who knows when when that is these teams always like fluctuate don't they uh and maybe mclaren seem a more you know a more likely source for for a team that max could potentially grow and you know help him improve but

It's an insane one.

Still can't get it in my head.

Max Verstappen being at McLaren, but it seems to have some rumours to it, but I think it's squashed for now.

He said the two drivers have got their names etched on the seat or something like that.

Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, right?

i would worry that bringing back refueling would be too much uh too much chaos with the fact that i think refueling worked in that era where it was so hard to overtake and a lot of the time it was the only way you could pass someone is by going on a different strategy and i do agree that

there were some races you know the ones that spring to mind of Michael Schumacher and Ross Braun's like legendary strategies that they used to do where they do yeah Manicor I think there's Hungary as well where he did like a four stop as well and Manicor as well and on the flip side of that where Jarno Trulli would qualify with two laps of fuel and on board just and just block everyone yeah and then just block everyone and the races were quite boring and

So the other side to that coin is that you just wait for people to pit and all the overtaking was done in the pit lane, which is why they brought a lot of these things in recent years, obviously DRS now with the boost and stuff.

I personally don't want to see refueling come back.

The V8 thing, yes, definitely.

I would like to see that.

I do completely back the whole era of simpler engines.

I think that's so important for Formula One.

These cars are far too complex and it's not making the sport any better for it.

So refueling, I'm not wowed about personally.

I'm not one of these people that really wants to see it come back.

Bahrain is a strange one because I really thought if any of those two cancelled races were going to come back, I feel like Saudi Arabia would be the place that would not take no for an answer and throw money at it and say, no, we absolutely have to have a race because we missed our slot.
