So is like similar to the Torro Rosso drivers being managed by Red Bull? I don't see why Mercedes would love Bottas, but if they did, Lando would be a massive get, IMO. Bottas is just too good at being a 'team player' to not have a seat beside Lewis. All the drama you have between Sebs and Charles is something I don't think you'd see at Mercedes as Bottas just isn't that type of teammate.

More like Ocon's career is being managed by Mercedes and Toto Wolff. Or like Briatore was the agent for almost half of the grid at one point in the past. It's not about Norris getting a seat at Mercedes anyway; well at least not in the near future. But it's quite interesting if those reports are true.

Moderator Tommy Posted October 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's just one more talented option for Mercedes. I guess he could test drive for them in the future too? Still weird if they choose him over Russell. I really want to see Georgy Boy competing in a decent car. The Williams doesn't do him justice, even though he's doing well against Kubica.

Administrator Stan Posted May 26, 2020 Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52808927 McLaren to cut 25% of staff Quote Iconic UK supercar maker and Formula 1 team McLaren plans to cut more than a quarter of its workforce after the coronavirus crisis hit demand. The firm employs around 4,000 people but 1,200 of those are to be made redundant, the vast majority in the UK. Motorsport events have been cancelled around the world by the pandemic, which has shut car plants and closed showrooms. McLaren said it had been "severely affected" by the crisis. The company said it had worked hard to cut costs and avoid layoffs. "But we now have no other choice but to reduce the size of our workforce," McLaren boss Paul Walsh said in a statement. "This is undoubtedly a challenging time for our company, and particularly our people, but we plan to emerge as an efficient, sustainable business with a clear course for returning to growth."
