Might need to bring back refuelling.

Jost Capito quits Williams

Frederic Vasseur leaves Alfa Romeo-Sauber.

Vasseur announced as new Ferrari team principal.

Seidl ditching McLaren for Audi shows that the Woking base team are just Williams 2.0.
McLaren either teams up with a manufacturer or remains irrelevant.
Makes Norris’ decision to sign that long term deal, with no break clauses, even more ridiculous.

I think this is a simplistic point of view. Seidl had already agreed with management to move at the end of next season and it was brought forward after the departure of Vasseur. Seidl had connections within Audi and them going hard after him was an open secret. None of this should have been a surprise to anyone and it seems McLaren are happy with their internal promotion to principal.

Lewis Hamilton will reportedly sign a new 2 year deal with Mercedes worth $120m to take him up to your end of 2025.
He’s also set to sign a 10 year ambassadorial role with Mercedes parent company worth $250m.
