My relative works for the Mercedes F1...
VB is really well liked & makes an effort to get to know everybody... very sociable.
They will miss him.

LH & GR... Luke warm

( But they all enjoy the generous bonuses received for Drivers & Manufactures Championships).

But as they say... points makes prizes.

Nice ... got any goodies to make me super jealous?
 
Dunno... never met em...
Gets info 2nd/3rd hand... OB they can’t say too much, apparently it takes a few days to sign about 100 pages of confidential paperwork.
( we are a close family)
Ps: 5k bonus for Drivers Championship, same again for Manf
( even the cleaners get it too)
This might help explain why tickets are expensive... if you are lucky enough.

My old neighbours relation was a ‘truckie’ for McLaren. ( quite a few years ago now).
When they got to the circuit... they had to get the garage ready.
Reckons 2yrs on the road is enough... dropped back to being a ‘Sparky’ for em.

Nice work... if you get in.
Glamours life....but very hard work.

When I was there it was 10k, can be more depending on your role for constructors, but nothing for drivers championship :confused:

my dad said something interesting today
actually i thought of it like last year, but slipped my mind

George is a long term replacement for Lewis

so LH is No.1 Driver
GR is No.2
Lewis retires

GR is now No.1

I can't see it.

Mercedes have long been all about equal treatment until the championship is as good as out of reach. They've done it to the deteriment of Lewis' fight against Seb in the past, too. Although, I suppose they have firmly put Bottas in support role a bit earlier this year under more pressure.

Bottas is simply a good number 2 by virtue of his weakness in race pace next to Lewis.

If the racing is going to be as competitive as we're led to believe next year, Mercedes will need both drivers on their A-game and won't be able to tie anyone's hands behind their backs.
