I hope it's not Max retiring. Like them or not but Lewis and Max probably brings in more fans between them than all the other drivers combined. And as much as I don't like Max no one can deny that he is a brilliant driver. I really doubt that he'd move to any of the top teams.

That would be a proper kick in the balls.
 
So what do we think?

Either Horner's return or Max's move.

Anything else big enough to cause lots of cryptic noise?

Well, it is big news on that side of the pond because it means McLaren are likely parting ways with arguably their best driver and current points leader - Christian Lungaard. He is also only 24-years old while the two drivers they are signing are 45 (Dixon) and 34 (Rosenqvist). He is also outperforming their favoured driver, Pato O'Ward, who also serves as the F1 team's reserve driver.

This would be like McLaren ditching Piastri and signing Alonso while Piastri is beating Norris in the championship.

And rumours are it is all because they want to win with O'Ward, and specifically win the Indy 500, with O'Ward having near wins in the last three 500s. Dixon and Rosenqvist only have two Indy 500 wins between them, but they are consistently among the fastest runners at the 500 and qualify well, so they have speed and experience, and they want to leverage all of that and push O'Ward.

Yup but for the majority of his followers he might've said indycar from the outset.

There's still this tweet that remains unsolved and he seems to be a respected online motoring editor so we will see if we are now in the quiet before the storm......

I think the last time tweets like that went around was when SLH moved to the red donkeys. Hopefully Max will be smart and not make such an idiotic move.
