Well, yeah, I'm sure.

I'm sure Adrian Newey would love that for a Zac Brown, Lawrence Stroll-like character to be the one that's facing all these questions about Aston Martin right now and eases some of that pressure off him.

So, yeah, I do tend to agree with you.

There'll be talk, of course, a lot of people, and we'll get into this later, about does this say anything about Max and what Max's future's going?

Because, of course, this is...

This is GP not joining immediately either as well.

It's him joining for 2028, which is when Max Verstappen's contract ends with Red Bull as well.

Whether you could maybe take that of Max is not going to continue beyond that.

I don't know, but I don't feel like this is a reaction to Max Verstappen news is my initial thought.

I think this can happen anyway, even when they were the amazing team that they were and winning.

They lost Rob Marshall.

This was before the crazy kind of ongoings of the Horner situation.

But even then, after that, you know, Newey's gone, Wheatley's gone, as we mentioned previously.

And...

i don't think it really says much about red bull i do think that this isn't i still think they're very much in struggle town and uh it makes me question yeah when when he leaves is max gonna want to like stick around and and have a new engineer like what what's the deal there but i don't think this is necessarily like uh

This could have easily happened anyway, even if Red Bull were still a pretty strong team.

You see people leaving top teams all the time and going to another rival top team.

So Red Bull are not the powerhouse they once were, and I do fully believe they're going to struggle a lot this season.

It's going to take them a lot to return, but I don't feel like that is the underlining reason why GP's gone here.

it's probably because he wants a new challenge in a new team and has been offered a massive role and a lot of money to go to a legendary team like McLaren.
