“They cannot afford to have a car that good and not have two cars right up t🥃here for t𓃲he championship.

“Possibly Lando. He’s still got a few ꦑmore years left at McLaren. 

“I was surprised 🐲when he signed such a long-term deal [until end of 2025]. It’s a long time𒊎, I’d have done three years tops.
