I agree, the year hasn't started yet.yinlad wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 09:48For a single year contract? If they were keeping Lewis on a short leash they aren't giving Alonso anything longer and that was a large part of him leaving Alpine. Not sure why everyone is so obsessed with this Merc narrativeChuckjr wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 08:47Fred will go to Merc if they take him. They simply are a better team and will out develop Aston. The last 3 years have humbled Merc, and they will be the better for it. Fred’s talk that he’s evaluating both Aston and Merc all year is just smart politics so he doesn’t torpedo the year at Aston like Ham did at Merc. Granted, Ham had to announce because he had to escape contract binds, but a torpedo is a torpedo at the end of the day, and Fred simply had better political options to exploit than Ham.
But yea, Fred is gone to Merc if Toto takes him.
