Well that was unexpected. Why sign so early when there are still top seats open?

Merc probably wouldnt have been an Option for him, that means he didnt think RBR would hire him either? or he thinks RBR will fail the 26 regulations, and Aston/Honda are the better bet.

Was it? This is what I was expecting all along... I'm certain he only raised the doubt about retirement to push AM to sign him up quickly

Fernando is awesome but he is not in a position to be top at Red Bull. Ferrari has no seats, I doubt Mercedes would not prefer a younger driver and he already tried every other team on the front of the grid.

I thought he might go for that RBR seat even if he never would have been their number one (except if Verstappen does indeed leave).
