Musing (aka spitballing) Toto Max and Christian

[bathurst77]

Enjoying the latest D2S on Netflix and watching how the relationship between Toto Christian and Max
and Christian's words on Danny R have changed over the last few years.
I had a few thoughts

Christian was very derisive of Danny A year or two back, this season he speaks very highly of him a few times. I guess Dan is forgiven for leaving.

By years end last year Toto and Christian were just totally unable to speak to each other.

So heres a few hypotheticals

2023 ends Lewis wins WDC 9 and decides he has had enough and wants to change the world, so walks away. Merc are still the team to beat, but max is still the major pain in their ass. Young George is doing well but maybe not quite ready to lead the best team in the game.

Would Toto ever employ Max?
Would Max go to merc if it meant he was then in THE BEST car. Bye Bye Christian

If he does go, would Christian Ring Danny R and ask him in for a chat?

(yes i know there are contracts, but contracts are written to be broken)

Scenario 2
Its 2032 Team Merc and Team redbull are no more
F1 is a totally un recognisable sport
Toto and Christian are both retired millionaires and havent been near a race car in years.
Will they be good friends having each other ovver for drinks and holidays? Or will they still spit on the ground every time that name gets mentioned?

In Australia in the 70s and 80s there were 2 racing camps
Ford lead by Allan Moffat and Holden (GM) lead by Peter Brock and Larry Perkins. Back then it was tense and playing for sheep stations no holds barred.

But years later Peter Allan and Larry were very close friends (Peter is now passed away - Allan was distraught) Allan is now suffering from age related health issues and Larry is central in his ongoing care and well being.
So old hatreds and grudges can be over written by shared history and experience and obsessions

Oh well this goe through my mind after a few drinks
