Drivers, well it seems Newey might be the catalyst for some of the change not any driver moves. He hasn’t wanted to go to Ferrari before, maybe now to team up with Hamilton or stay in the UK and go to Merc, personally don’t see Aston as an option he won’t like Strolls approach to management I suspect.
Going to be a fun few weeks off track that’s for certain.

Apart from Verstappen, Vermeulen, Wolff, Källenius and Ratcliffe, also Jos Verstappen is told to attend the rumored crucial meeting to be held someday during the first half of next month (between the Miami GP and the Imola GP).
A long-term contract, the highest ever annual salary package (up to 150 million, is whispered), brand ambassador for Mercedes, Helmut Marko acceptable as consultant, some high-level RBR engineers acceptable to come over too, etc. If true, then it seems that 'the powers that be' at Mercedes are
very determined to get Max on their side, and by doing so, to weaken RBR both on-track and off-track.
Let's wait and see if a Max-Merc move truly materializes.
