I don't think anybody in the paddock thinks max is that much better than Lando in the same car. and there's no indication that he could pull a worse car up

worst case scenario -- you think Red Bull couldn't get Charles over there? He'd pay whatever he has to pay to get out of that Ferrari deal and into the seat. and horner is enough of a snake to do some shit like that. you said it: just win baby.

He doesn't need somebody in that seat who isn't going to do what they're told for the team. He'll eat shit from Max for as long as he has to and he'll have the knife behind his back the whole time. He encouraged max because that's what it took to make Max into this, just like he encouraged Seb, and then when Seb's head got too big? They split up.

Horner replaced Vettel, who is as much of a talent as Max, and at times, was as much of a shit. and he replaced him no fuckin problem. there's allllways another driver.
