If you were Zak Brown, would you sign Max Verstappen or keep Oscar Piastri?

czechfog18362mo ago

I am biased here. I would prefer that McLaren keep Oscar Piastri. I have no idea what the CEO, Zak Brown, will do.

I'd Boot Lando. He almost lost them the title because Zak would never have let Oscar beat him. Max and Oscar are both better drivers but Zaks loverboy Lando will not let Max win so Max won't be going to McLaren

And i heard a rumour that Norris' dad has some stake in the team.

wilsonjimwilson2mo ago

With the immense demands Verstappen is making, plus the toxic baggage that comes with him in the form of his management and father, I don't think any team should sign him. Red Bull should recognise that he's hurting their brand image a lot now, and find a way to cut ties as amicably as possible.

While I take the point that there are some negatives attached to Verstappen, getting rid of him willingly would be crazy

dav.daddy2mo ago

I don't see any reason to take Max over him at the moment. It's beginning to look to me like Max may be as bad in the current cars as Lewis was in the previous cars. The next ruleset will in all likelihood benefit him but that's a long way off.

I see Oscar's future with Ferarri not Red Bull, he is half Italian afterall and those fans love him

duggsduggan22mo ago

I don't have one view or another about Zak brown,

jonny2mo ago

You can’t turn down Verstappen. It would be a good thing for Piastri who deserves to be the main man somewhere but I wonder whether Brown would remain loyal to Lando if Max is the other driver… who would be seat 2?

david.comerford2mo ago

Very tricky, but I would keep Piastri in the end. He's not as good as Verstappen, but Brown has built a certain culture and dropping him would be completely at odds with that.
