The Max-Merc rumor has been swirling for a couple weeks now ... beginning to suspect there's a bit of smoke there...
Even if Perez retires from racing, it's possible the contract has him staying on in some other capacity - reserve, development, or non-F1 racing - so I wouldn't rule that out just yet.
But the Piastri move ... I don't know about that ... with what McLaren has been doing lately... then again, if RB is set to lose both Perez and Max... that would be a pretty good/quick way to getting a #1 spot, which I don't see happening at McLaren as long as Norris remains there.



The next two or three off-seasons are going to be interesting.
