On the flipside, it makes me wonder if Max has already made a choice regarding his future, and that's what got GP to look for work elsewhere.

I wouldn‘t be surprised if this was the case. Max is still relatively young and has plenty of time left to compete in GT3 leagues or WEC / IMSA.

Quite a few adjustments to hopefully reduce the dumb superclipping and lessen the chances of another Bearman incident.

It was my decision, it wasn't a mutual decision,” Towriss said. “Really the process started a few months ago to explore what… really thinking about what the next phase for Cadillac Formula 1 looks like, what's the right timing? How would that look? And then the capabilities of the various folks out there.

“Obviously, we were delighted in the conversation with Marcin and how that relationship evolved. So Graeme and I spoke [on Wednesday] morning, so it is a very recent conversation from that perspective. But there's no easy way to make this transition within Formula 1.
