I do think he could have done it if Williams at the time could exploit the fiscal firepower that BMW gave them. While it wasn't a proper shitshow like the Ford-owned Jaguar team or a bureaucratic farce like Toyota, there was still enough friction between Grove and Munich that they couldn't really get it together as well as Ferrari or McLaren-Mercedes at the time.
Max is shaping up to be the GOAT. Not just in F1, but motorsport in general. Not that he'll ever do this, but I swear Max could swap from cars to bikes and get right up to the pointy end of his particular category in double quick time.
It would be a hugely wasted opportunity if he doesn't go for it. Winning that triple crown would remove any vestigial doubt in my mind about Max's GOAT status.
Huh?
Idk bro, I just reposted the shit I found elsewhere lol
I wonder if Max is testing the waters to see what the Mercedes environment is like?
Don’t read anything into it for F1. The Mercedes is just the best GT3 car right now.
Max has nothing left to prove in F1, and giving up a shot at beating the Schumacher and Hamilton records for WDC wins to pursue his one of his passions would be a gigachad move.
Late but Stefan Bellof and Ronnie Peterson are first to come in mind. Honorable mentions would include Derek Warwick, Riccardo Patrese and Alessandro Nannini.
Peterson's death was extra awful because it wasn't the accident as much as the local hospital failing to handle the fat embolism properly that did him in.
Should have sent him to Austria where their ward would have been able to handle it. That was what they originally were thinking. Though honestly the most horrifying death has to be Cevert either being decapitated or cut I half by crashing at Watkins Glen. It's a death that Jackie Stewart is still affected by to this day given he was like a younger brother to him and his protege
Poor GP. Everything i've seen and read about the guy makes him seem lovely, I hope she pulls through.
