Nope... hearing Mercedes are sniffing round Ricciardo...
Make of that what you will. Mercedes are a very brand conscious company, and Max's outbursts against Ferrari and fellow competitors is not nearly diplomatic enough for their board of directors. That's what I've been hearing. When I said to someone Max would replace Lewis, who by the way Mercedes think is off to Ferrari in 2021 (they think the agreement in principle has been hammered out) someone who knows the situation, not greatly, but way better than I said "I doubt it, they don't want his attitude or father linked to their brand". He also said he'd sign up to RBR because he now has nowhere else to go. I honestly thought he was talking bollocks, now I'm not so sure.
