Why a Lewis & Max Team-Up Would Rock F1

Rumors flared before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix about Lewis Hamilton eyeing a Red Bull seat before extending his contract with Mercedes. It sparked an intriguing idea: What if Lewis and Max shared the same machinery? Max hasn't faced a true teammate challenge at Red Bull yet, with past clashes and swaps between drivers proving spicy. The 2021 season stood out as one of F1's best, where both Red Bull and Mercedes boasted competitive cars. The season-long duel between Lewis & Max culminated in a controversial Abu Dhabi finale. Nothing tests greatness like being in identical machinery.

Every F1 legend had a rival: Prost & Senna, Webber & Vettel, Hamilton & Alonso, or Rosberg. The ultimate showdown everyone craves is settling the GOAT debate between Verstappen and Hamilton. It's F1's most thrilling battle, but the window for it is closing as Lewis heads towards retirement. Lately, he hasn't had comparable machinery to challenge Verstappen properly.

Imagine if the rumors were true—a Lewis-Horner-Red Bull link. Sounds absurd, but consider this: the two top F1 drivers going head-to-head every weekend in equally top-notch cars. Bitter rivals in identical machinery would make for unparalleled racing. It might shake up Red Bull Racing internally but draw massive attention, creating astronomical buzz and drama, possibly the most intense F1 season in 30+ years. Picture the Verstappen & Hamilton intensity, a clash of titans!

Sure, this intense teammate battle might strain Red Bull internally, but financially, it's a gold mine: soaring ratings, merchandise sales, and ticket demand. Red Bull would rake in profits, and F1 would ride that wave. Ultimately, F1 is about money, and this would be a boom for business
