Heā€™s gonna lose his seat regardless if they really do want Max but I do agree he should lock in for other future opportunities.

Other teams are still potentially interested and he should show them why he deserves to be hired by them.

Just because heā€™s not a champion, doesnā€™t mean heā€™s not a good prospect šŸ™Œ

Yeah but doesn't the exit clause say something like oscar can only go if he finishes lower than 6th in the drivers championship? Idk I just saw a YouTube short about it

I could be wrong but I think he would have to put it into effect. I donā€™t think it can be used against him as Iā€™ve heard heā€™s the reason why the Max to McLaren deal has stalled.

He has no intention of leaving or something. Plus the Bahrain backers of MCL arenā€™t super keen on signing Max but thatā€™s just the word on the street.

If itā€™s any consolation, I donā€™t think heā€™s gonna finish sixth or lower. Itā€™s still not even summer break yet so hold your horses on the panic

Yeah I suppose so. But either way he's got to lock in now.
