    Hamilton is a Mercedes driver. I don’t see him even considering RB.

    Whether we like it or not, age has a massive effect on driver’s performance. Lewis might still have it, Alonso too but the young guns like LEC, NOR, and PIA… They’re hungry for a championship win.

      I mean it’s also unlikely af for the drivers that you mentioned. Other than Perez, Yuki or Ric no one is close to a Red Bull car.

      I took your question as an hypothetical focusing purely on driver quality and not on the feasibility of them getting to a Red Bull.

      Based on that interpretation your question has no answer, because no driver that is close to a Red Bull can get anywhere near Max.

      I read your parent comment as being hypothetical, not tied to the driver actually having to have a contract with a team.

      The only drivers who I think would trouble him are Hamilton, Norris, Piastri (maybe, he’s got the pace but lacking experience), and Alonso. Leclerc is fast but too error prone.
