Could Max be looking at McLaren for Hypercar / WEC?
With the talk of Max's team being in touch with McLaren last week, my immediate thought was for the Hypercar. McLaren F1 has a team dynamic that appears to be working at the moment and I don't think Max would partner well with either driver. (Not a criticism of Max or either McLaren drivers)
Main reasons being:
Max doesn't like the new regs for F1, and is being very vocal about it.
The Red Bull team personnel are changing massively around him
Tsolov has apparently been promised a seat already, so RB are either expecting someone to leave or are going to chop a driver
It would give McLaren a big name to bring attention (and probably sponsors) to the Hypercar team.
McLaren might be able to use him as a reserve / test drive, keeping the door open for an F1 return.
The Hypercar has now been launched, and has done some laps so they will have data to show
