^ I love it.

Just kidding about the fancy Toyota part.

I’m assuming you’ll be present at the British Grand Prix. Be sure to give an enthusiastic wave if the cameras pick you up.

I can see the potential for a good future with Red Bull and Honda. They’ll also have more data to further development with 4 cars on the grid

I'd say it's more about making sure Honda can't offer anyone other than RBR/STR engines so they're in essence a factory team of sorts that RBR can somewhat control. Renault having their own team has taken the focus away from RBR to their factory team, which there is nothing wrong with, but I'd say it's a power move by RBR more than a move for a better engine.

It'll be interesting what happens when the regs change.

I think he's made the right decision for his future.

RBR favor Max and he knows that.

Wow, I am surprised not Ferrari or Merc. Maybe they didn't have room for him at this time. I wish him the best at Renault. Hopefully they will get their power up AND have reliability by next year.

He could very well do a Lewis and go on a hot streak and I hope he does. After Jenson, he’s the driver I like the most given how he seemingly stays above the fray and doesn’t give in to being impetuous.
