1:28
Picture Look at this,
1:30
you're halfway through a DIY car
1:33
fix, tools scattered everywhere and boom,
1:35
you realise you're missing a part.
1:37
It's okay, because you know whatever
1:39
it is, it's on eBay. They've
1:41
got everything, brakes, headlights, cold air
1:44
intakes, whatever you need, and it's
1:46
guaranteed to fit, which means no
1:48
more crossing your fingers and hoping
1:50
you ordered the right thing. All
1:52
the parts you need at prices
1:55
you'll love, guaranteed to fit every
1:57
time. eBay. Things people love. Oh
2:10
yeah, we're getting into something today which
2:12
we've not explored for a while. There's
2:14
been a lot of rumors, a lot
2:16
of this, that's, maybe, and
2:18
everything else in between. And
2:21
we thought we'd discuss it because
2:23
there was obviously quite strong rumors, wasn't
2:25
there Tommy, where we genuinely thought,
2:27
oh my god. Max Verstappen could go
2:29
to Mercedes last year. you remember
2:31
when that all kicked off? And that
2:33
was crazy. That was that was
2:36
crazy and did have some legs. It
2:38
wasn't like we don't tend to
2:40
just jump on random rumors. But once
2:42
again, obviously the main talking point
2:44
is about Max and where he will
2:46
go in 2026 and beyond. And
2:48
we've essentially got different teams that we're
2:50
going to talk about that could be a
2:52
potential and grade it out of 10
2:54
as to how sure or how much of
2:56
a probability we think it will be
2:58
that he will end up in that team.
3:01
Are you ready for it, Tommy? Your
3:03
your favorite goats? I
3:05
know, yeah. It's surprising
3:07
how the rumors have ramped up
3:09
again already in the season and probably
3:11
helped a little bit. They had
3:13
that really poor race in Bahrain, but
3:15
then, of course, did better in
3:17
Saudi, but the rumors have really like
3:19
ramped up again. So here we
3:21
are. Now before we dive into everything
3:23
Max for Stap and I'm going
3:25
to read out a lovely five -star
3:28
review that made a smile from It's
3:30
Ahmed. Making sure to do
3:32
my chore for the chore gang and leaving a
3:34
review. Predictions are some of my favorites to
3:36
listen to. I got a friend in work to
3:38
start listening to P1 and we've now made
3:40
a group chat with some of the other work
3:42
guys where we do the predictions using your
3:44
format. Thanks to you guys bringing us together. Please
3:46
keep making us laugh. That is awesome. I
3:48
love that. You know, sometimes we hear our P1
3:50
live shows as well. People saying, look, no,
3:52
no, we've got our own group chat where we've
3:54
got biggest flop and this is that. It's
3:56
absolutely awesome. We kind of
3:58
forget just how far this podcast might
4:00
go at times and. is awesome
4:02
to hear these these little stories and
4:04
also one other thing I have
4:06
finished my last training run before the
4:09
London Marathon on Sunday okay so
4:11
my next run will be 42 kilometers
4:13
or 26 .2 miles running for the
4:15
Great Ormond Street Hospital on Sunday If
4:18
you would like to support, donate this
4:20
incredible charity, there will be a link
4:22
at the top of the description. We're
4:24
giving it one last push. I might
4:26
push it afterwards as well when I can't
4:29
walk. But I'm pushing this before the
4:31
marathon, so please, if you would love to
4:33
support this amazing charity, then please do.
4:35
Do it now. Yeah. Listen to Tommy with
4:37
his forceful do it. Do
4:39
it. Okay, let's begin
4:41
with Mercedes. Ooh.
4:44
Ooh, my
4:46
chance of joining in
4:48
2026 is three out
4:50
of 10. I personally
4:52
cannot see this happening for
4:54
a number of reasons. Now,
4:57
we know that Toto Wolf is
4:59
essentially in love with Max Verstappen.
5:02
We've seen that before. There's been
5:04
open flirting. That's
5:07
kind of where it ends. And also, Toto more
5:09
recently said that he doesn't openly flirt when he's
5:11
happy in his relationship and this and that. There
5:13
was a joke about Susan Wolfe. Whoa. I
5:16
don't see this happening.
5:18
George Russell is performing
5:20
incredibly well. Do
5:23
you really need to shake
5:25
up the boat? I know
5:27
that he really wants Max Verstappen, but
5:30
I just cannot see this happening in
5:32
2026. Not that it will never happen. There
5:35
have been rumors. to suggest that Rebel
5:37
have spoken to Russell about a switch. Why
5:39
would George Russell voluntarily go
5:41
to that team in Rebel?
5:43
I don't know. Because another
5:45
suggested, I don't know if
5:47
a rumor or just speculation, whatever you want to
5:50
call it, then Mercedes is going to be
5:52
the fastest team in 2026, moving forward, you know,
5:54
with this engine formula. Mercedes, Ferrari, they look
5:56
like they should be the front runners. George
5:58
George will go to Red
6:00
Bull kicking and screaming in
6:02
my opinion. So that's one
6:04
problem as well I cannot
6:06
say happening, but three out
6:09
of ten because them a
6:11
tiny bit, you know, I
6:13
Have gone for a one
6:15
out of ten chance of
6:17
Mercedes this I think just
6:19
to go on the whole
6:21
Russell thing I think However
6:24
much Russell is doing an amazing job and I've
6:26
said this many times in the podcast He's been one
6:28
of the drivers of the year and he's performing
6:30
incredibly well. I
6:32
Think however much You know,
6:34
he's doing a great job
6:36
if Max Verstappen became available
6:38
and Mercedes could get him
6:40
Unfairly, I think almost in
6:42
the same way like Carlos
6:45
Sainz leaving Ferrari I think
6:47
they would make the switch
6:49
because Mercedes what would want,
6:51
you know high profile star
6:53
driver after losing, um,
6:57
after losing Lewis Hamilton, of course.
6:59
And while George is one of
7:01
the top drivers in Formula One,
7:03
there's more to it than that.
7:05
We know how much Toto wants
7:07
him. But the reason I've gone
7:09
for a one out of 10
7:11
is I just can't see this,
7:13
this happening now. Um, particularly next
7:15
season, I think the way that
7:17
Toto, um, after the
7:19
whole kind of beef between
7:21
Russell and uh Verstappen at the
7:23
end of last season and the
7:25
way Toto kind of stood with
7:27
George and was like saying all
7:29
this uh it kind of like
7:31
stood stood with him um makes
7:33
me think that I don't I
7:36
don't see it happening just yet
7:38
maybe in the future and maybe
7:40
those kind of that side of
7:42
its healed a bit but I
7:44
just I just can't see Mercedes
7:46
at this moment in time as
7:48
a max fan I would
7:50
like to see it because without getting
7:52
into 2026 predictions, I think Mercedes
7:54
are going to be light years ahead
7:56
of Red Bull. I
7:59
saw your
8:02
eyes. But it's Ferraris here.
8:05
But no, of Red Bull, who
8:07
I think will struggle next season. But
8:10
I just can't see this switch
8:12
happening at this point in time. Okie
8:15
dokie, we now head to Aston Martin, Tom
8:18
Bellingham. For Aston
8:20
Martin, it's a six
8:22
out of ten for
8:24
Aston Martin. I think
8:26
this, if he's gonna go
8:28
anywhere, I think it's gonna
8:31
be Aston Martin, you know,
8:33
if he decides to leave Red Bull. Because
8:36
not only, you
8:39
know, do we have Adrian Newey
8:41
there now, there's also
8:43
the Honda connection. So
8:46
they're almost becoming like,
8:48
Red Bull without Christian
8:50
Horner. And that's probably
8:52
quite a good thing based on
8:55
the relationship that Max has had and
8:57
seemingly his father as well have
8:59
had with Red Bull recently. That
9:02
being said, there are a
9:04
lot of the reason I'm
9:06
not like hugely backing it
9:08
is there are a lot
9:10
of rumors going around about
9:13
Lawrence paying the big bucks for
9:15
him and what they do with
9:17
Fernando. I saw some journalists talking
9:19
to Fernando Alonso in the press
9:21
conference and going, so what
9:23
do you think about having Verstappen as
9:25
your teammate next year? And I'm thinking, I'm
9:28
sorry, but if anyone's moving
9:30
aside, it is not
9:32
Lance Stroll. And I know
9:34
there's talk that the
9:36
Saudi Arabian kind of backing
9:38
they might buy a
9:40
larger share. But there is
9:43
no way now Lawrence Stroll has paid
9:45
all this money for Adrian Nui to
9:47
join the team. He sacks off the
9:49
kind of project now and leaves his
9:51
son without a seat. That's like playing
9:53
50 hours of the video game, getting
9:55
to the final boss and then going,
9:57
no, I don't fancy it, I'm gonna
9:59
turn off and never play it again.
10:02
It's just not, that side isn't
10:04
gonna happen. But alongside Lance,
10:06
next year... I think there'll be
10:08
strong talks about it. I
10:10
think you'll definitely have conversations for
10:12
sure. Interesting.
10:14
I've gone for a 5 out of 10
10:16
for Aston Martin. So similarly to you, I think
10:18
that if he was to make the switch,
10:21
it would be Aston over Mercedes. It
10:23
is, like you say, Red
10:26
Bull without Christian Horner and
10:29
probably a lot more money as
10:31
well to boot, not that
10:33
Max Verstappen seems particularly money motivated.
10:36
I think that Remember as well,
10:38
we're talking about this in 2026, I
10:41
wholeheartedly believe should
10:43
he stay at Red
10:45
Bull, he
10:47
will then stay at Red Bull in
10:49
2026, Red Bull are not that great,
10:51
Aston Martin potentially are really good, Mercedes,
10:54
that's when 27, he
10:57
can bounce. That's how I
10:59
see it really unfolding, really,
11:01
is that he has
11:04
the luxury of Staying
11:07
at a team and then picking
11:09
and choosing similarly to Lewis Hamilton. He
11:11
can go wherever he wants a
11:13
driver will have to move over But
11:16
it's still a five out of
11:18
ten depends how the second half of
11:20
this season goes does he The
11:22
the relationships falter even more we'll have
11:24
to wait and see but Aston
11:26
Martin should in theory Become pretty good
11:29
and I think people know as
11:31
well, you know, we mentioned about the
11:33
fact that he could he could
11:35
essentially sit there I'd wait
11:37
a year and then he
11:39
knows the kind of pecking order
11:41
and while that is true
11:43
to some extent I Find it
11:45
fascinating how the teams and
11:47
for whatever reason they'll never know
11:49
exactly right but going into
11:51
formula one seasons the teams and
11:53
Obviously, it's like you know
11:55
talking and rumors and and everyone
11:57
having their own kind of
12:00
winter no tests and all that
12:02
kind of stuff They do
12:04
have an idea of the pecking order,
12:06
you know, Max has happened at the start
12:08
of this year was basically going, McLaren
12:10
going to be so clear. And that has
12:12
kind of been the case at the
12:14
start of the season. And, you know, years
12:16
gone by, they've kind of predicted things
12:18
are going to happen. So they will be
12:20
like Mercedes when they were obviously really
12:22
good. So there will be
12:24
like Intel there. And he will
12:26
he will be able to know
12:29
even before he goes there and
12:31
drives the car. if
12:33
Aston Martin is looking like a better
12:35
prospect than Red Bull and how that
12:37
that kind of engine development goes there
12:39
because I think that's the key thing
12:41
here. Yeah, I would say that
12:43
he would have some kind of
12:45
insight if you were comparing where he
12:47
currently is to an Aston Martin.
12:49
I don't think he will have, or
12:52
many people have a clue, especially
12:54
into 2026, the exact pecking order
12:56
considering the massive overhaul, the things we're
12:58
hearing about the engine. cutting out halfway down
13:00
the straight and all kinds of stuff.
13:02
So I do feel as though a lot
13:05
of it is very much a lottery.
13:07
And perhaps maybe that's why Max would, if
13:09
Red Bull, you know, say the right
13:11
things, he might just stay for another year.
13:13
Because I know we're writing Red Bull
13:15
off, but they have invested a huge amount
13:17
of money to develop their own powertrain
13:19
as well. So it's not as if they're
13:21
going to be, it's not going to
13:24
be Fred Flintstone and they're going to be
13:26
just peddling. That is a really old
13:28
reference with their feet at the bottom of
13:30
the car. But yeah, it's It's still
13:32
only a five for me, for Aston Martin.
13:35
Red Bull! What are
13:37
the chances of him staying there
13:39
in 2026? For me, it is
13:41
a 9 out of 10. He's
13:44
staying. There's just so much
13:46
waffle. Loads of waffle going on in
13:48
the world of Formula One, but I just
13:50
can't see him moving in 2026. Why
13:53
would he want to... Of course,
13:55
he's having a child as well. Why
13:57
would he want to sort of...
13:59
himself into a new team, have that
14:01
whole kerfuffle as well as everything
14:04
else going on in his personal life.
14:06
I can't see it personally, as
14:08
I say, and as I said on the
14:10
Aston Martin point, if Red Bull say the
14:12
right things, they show him, look,
14:15
this powertrain is not going to be 30
14:17
miles an hour slower than Mercedes down the
14:19
straight. Look, we promise. Look at this. Then
14:21
I think he'll stay, especially if the car's
14:23
reasonably competitive this year, not that it matters
14:25
too much because of the massive overhaul. I
14:28
just can't see him changing in
14:30
26. However, as I mentioned,
14:32
27, I think that's when
14:34
Max leaves. I've
14:36
gone for a 9 out of
14:38
10 as well. I do think
14:41
Red Bull is looking like the
14:43
more than likely option for next
14:45
season, not to say that he
14:47
won't leave at some point in
14:49
the future, but despite all the
14:51
issues that they've had and sometimes
14:54
the car's not been there and
14:56
his kind of quite what I
14:58
say public is public nowadays liking
15:00
an Instagram post about how Red
15:02
Bull treated Lawson and maybe sometimes
15:04
he Can kind of Make his
15:07
feelings known because he's quite an
15:09
honest an honest guy about Red
15:11
Bull and their situation I think
15:13
he is loyal to them particularly
15:15
helmet Marco who's the guy that
15:17
brought him into Formula one in
15:20
the first place and took the
15:22
risk to kind of get
15:24
him into a Formula 1 car, which is
15:26
obviously paid off massively. And
15:28
there's also other sides to
15:30
it that it's not just
15:32
the moving and the competitive
15:34
side of it. You
15:37
know, he's got his
15:39
own kind of endurance team
15:41
now, like the Stappen Racing
15:43
by Red Bull and all this kind of stuff
15:45
that I do think that he's kind of
15:47
loyal to them for now. And
15:50
it's a very good point
15:52
what you mentioned. as well the
15:54
fact that we'll go into
15:56
this point next about uh you
15:58
know him obviously having a
16:00
kid and stuff but yeah changing
16:03
at this stage it just
16:05
doesn't really make too much sense
16:07
even though I
16:09
am of the opinion that Red
16:12
Bull won't be particularly great next year.
16:14
I'm slightly concerned. That's just
16:16
a prediction, of course. We don't know until we get there.
16:18
don't dominate now, aren't they? Now that you've written them
16:20
off. I know what you're doing. I've just seen what you're
16:22
doing. You're trying to put some bad juju in the
16:24
world. I don't. I really don't see it in an engine
16:26
formula. And it's going to be a Max just up
16:28
in dominance the next 10 years. We'll see. We'll see. Six

18:18
judgments, but that's weird. Okay, one
18:20
judgment. Anyway, give it a

18:31
See full terms at mintmobile.com. And
18:35
finally, the chances
18:38
of him going on paternity
18:40
leave or a sabbatical. Zero
18:43
out of ten. No
18:46
chance. I saw this
18:48
rumor kind of appear again. I think
18:50
it was Andrew Benson from a
18:53
BBC that kind of brought it
18:55
forward. I feel like Karun maybe said
18:57
this last year as well. It's
19:00
been thrown around a few
19:02
times and I think it gets
19:04
thrown around because Max says
19:06
the things that he does about
19:08
his family and how they
19:10
mean everything to him and he
19:12
wants to kind of have
19:14
that childhood that he never had
19:16
and also support his family
19:18
and that is the most important
19:20
thing to him even. More
19:22
than being a champion and I
19:24
do genuinely believe that but
19:26
I Feel like that stage of
19:28
his life will come when
19:30
he decides to quit and he
19:32
can do the things he
19:34
wants to do after Formula 1
19:36
when he's retired, which may
19:38
be earlier than than most do
19:40
you know age -wise and Then
19:42
he can you spend time
19:44
with his family or do Le
19:46
Mans racing with his dad
19:48
or things like that But
19:50
I don't see it happening now,
19:53
even though, yes, you know,
19:55
his baby is due
19:57
this year, I don't see
19:59
that side to him that he'd
20:01
kind of thrown the towel when he
20:03
is at the peak of his
20:05
kind of performance and his driving ability,
20:07
because although he says records don't
20:09
matter, he still clearly
20:12
loves Formula One and it's easier
20:14
said than done to kind
20:16
of get away from it. This
20:19
may surprise you This is a
20:21
disagreement coming as a zero out
20:23
of ten zero out of ten
20:25
no chance This is a rumor
20:27
that I do not give any
20:29
kind of credibility to just I
20:31
just can't see it happening. He
20:33
is in the peak condition. It's
20:35
27 years old. He is driving
20:38
phenomenally and I'm similar I'm similarly
20:40
sort of I have similar thinking
20:42
to you in the sense of
20:44
When he goes, he goes. That'll
20:46
be it. You know, whether it's
20:48
when he's 30 years old, 32,
20:50
whatever. That's when
20:52
he will put up his racing
20:54
gloves for Formula One and spend
20:56
time with this kid. I
20:58
think as well, you know, a lot of people
21:00
look at this where he says, I really want
21:02
to spend time with my family. I
21:05
mean, he's a very rich man. He
21:07
can still try and see his kid as
21:09
much as possible across these years. I
21:12
know, obviously, it takes a lot of his
21:14
time up, but. At the same time, I know
21:16
he would do everything he can to see
21:18
his family as much as possible. He's got a
21:20
private jet. He's got a private jet. Just
21:22
pop the baby on there. Absolutely fine. I
21:24
don't know when babies can fly, but not literally,
21:26
I mean, go on planes. You probably
21:29
know more than that, Tommy, because then you have a
21:31
child. But back to my point. It's
21:33
not gonna happen and this is
21:35
where you know this will get clipped
21:37
up where he announces his retirement
21:39
at the end of the year And
21:41
then we will say well actually
21:44
we said it wasn't gonna be a
21:46
sabbatical not retiring Yes, I cannot
21:48
see that one happening now we put
21:50
a poll out for all of
21:52
you wonderful lot to have your say
21:54
with over 77 ,000 votes and The
21:56
results are in in fourth position
21:58
out of the four that we've suggested
22:00
was Mercedes with 10 %
22:02
of the vote. In
22:05
third place is Aston
22:07
Martin with 16%, which means
22:09
in second place, with
22:11
17%, people think he's going
22:13
on a sabbatical. CLA
22:15
to Max 2026, Charlotte Gleir,
22:17
champion of the world.
22:19
Thank you very much indeed.
22:22
And finally, 57 % reckon that
22:24
he's going to stay. at Red
22:26
Bull. So that is very
22:28
interesting reading. A sabbatical over Mercedes.
22:32
Yeah, and Aston Martin. People more
22:34
convinced that he will, yeah,
22:36
just pack it in altogether or
22:38
take a break than he would
22:40
go to another team other than
22:42
Red Bull at this moment. That
22:45
being still... He can't do a minute
22:47
hacking on Tommy, surely? I know. He's
22:49
still, it's still, you know, 57 %
22:51
at Red Bull. I know
22:53
it's the overwhelming vote, but... that kind
22:55
of it's only just over half of
22:57
people think he's going to stay in
22:59
that team. So it's definitely up in
23:01
the air still. Fascinating
23:04
stuff. I'm sure you'll
23:06
be writing your comments. I'm interested to hear
23:08
the ones that have said Aston Mercedes and also
23:10
Sabatical. So let us know in the comments. And
23:13
finally, before we wrap up, we
23:15
have one last question, which is, will
23:18
Max stay at Red Bull his
23:20
whole career or join another team before
23:22
retirement? And if so, Name that
23:24
team. I do
23:26
believe he will leave Red Bull,
23:28
as I have said consistently
23:30
throughout this podcast, but it is
23:32
purely down to performance. If
23:35
Red Bull come up the blocks
23:37
in 2026 and they are fast
23:39
and fighting for wins, then I
23:41
don't see him leaving one bit.
23:43
He will only leave if the
23:45
car is not good enough for
23:47
him to achieve his goals. And
23:49
I firmly believe that. And if
23:51
it ripples bad, then Aston
23:53
Martin. Yeah,
23:55
I think if he does go
23:58
it will be Aston Martin as well.
24:01
I think during the live shows
24:03
I said that I think
24:05
he would stay his whole career.
24:08
But I do keep changing my
24:10
mind. I think maybe it's more
24:12
likely that he will stay his
24:14
whole career. But
24:16
I wouldn't count out the move to Aston
24:18
Martin at some point just because of
24:20
the Honda and Nui connection that he knows
24:22
really well. And just
24:25
one curveball to throw into
24:27
the mix is Ferrari. And
24:30
I think it's
24:32
incredibly unlikely. But
24:34
I think I do see the
24:36
Stappen being the kind of person like
24:39
a Lewis Hamilton that would love
24:41
to drive for them. I just don't
24:43
know how that would happen now. with
24:46
him. Charlotte, he sends Charlotte to Salber, I
24:48
swear to God, I'm done. What,
24:50
and have Verstappen and Hamilton at Ferrari, just
24:52
like chaos. All the aura points,
24:54
that's what we're going for. And
24:56
I do think he would really like to
24:58
do that. However, obviously
25:00
Hamilton's gone there now. And
25:03
I can't see Verstappen and
25:05
Leclerc as teammates, even though they
25:07
get on really well, I think
25:10
that dynamic and and they're kind
25:12
of friendship comes from
25:14
them not being teammates if you
25:16
like I'd be it'd be amazing to
25:18
watch but I can't I could
25:20
never see them being teammates so it
25:22
would all rely on on char
25:24
leaving Ferrari and that that seems incredibly
25:26
unlikely does seem like a loyal
25:28
man that will want to win that
25:31
title no matter what it takes
25:33
even if that year is 2073 I
25:36
can't believe we haven't spoken about Alpine. You know, could
25:38
he go to Alpine? Is it in a shock move?
25:40
Flavio. Maybe wants to, you know,
25:43
team up with Flavio and
25:45
off he pops to Endstone. And
25:47
McLaren, of course. I mean McLaren.
25:49
No, I can't imagine that Max and
25:51
Lando as teammates or it would
25:54
be Oscar would Lando then have to
25:56
go to Red Bull We've spoken
25:58
about Lando to Red Bull a few
26:00
years ago that it's it's great,
26:02
isn't it the driver transfer market just
26:04
provides a lot of discussion And
26:06
I'm sure Max will just do the
26:08
boring thing and stay at Red
26:10
Bull after all of this I hope
26:12
he doesn't be chaos wouldn't it
26:14
again and it would yes, it would
26:17
also kickstart more chaos because you
26:19
kind of feel like With Hamilton's
26:21
move to Ferrari, that was
26:23
the kind of driver market craziness
26:25
that happened. But if Max
26:27
does move somewhere, it's going to happen
26:29
all over again. And it would just completely
26:31
shuffle the whole grid again, I think,
26:33
which would be amazing. And as we've spoken
26:35
about, it's certainly not out the question.
26:38
It would be amazing apart from the really
26:40
good driver that gets kicked out of
26:42
a potential top team and then it wouldn't
26:44
be amazing for that certain individual and
26:46
similar to Carlos Sainz from Ferrari. Right, that
26:48
is it Tommy. What are your final
26:50
thoughts please? Final thoughts are
26:52
that the more I'm talking about it
26:55
the more I do want to
26:57
see Max drive for a different team
26:59
just for just about to and
27:01
to see him in just to see
27:03
what it takes because I do
27:05
like to see drivers Give
27:07
it a go in in something a bit
27:09
different. Give it a go. Give it a go.
27:11
Go on. Why not? They look like in
27:13
the different color overalls. Max, I'm sure you're not
27:15
watching this, but Tommy says give it a
27:17
go. And that might well be the straw
27:20
that broke the camel's back. Off he goes. Maybe. Has
27:22
soon come. There you go. Thank you, everybody. We'll see
27:24
you very soon. Lots of love. Take care. Bye -bye. Bye.
