If 2 teams have the same engine, always go with the manufacturer team as they will get preferential treatment.
The renault team is the next best behind the big 3 in terms of results this season, despite not having a driver the calibre of Alonso in their car.
Good move IMO.
Its always said that its better to be the #1 driver in the #2 team, than the #2 driver in the #1 team.
Using that logic with the knowledge that Verstappen will get preferential treatment sooner or later at Red Bull, he would either be behind Hamilton, Vettel or Verstappen in the big 3, better off being the #1 in the 4th team.
I wonder if he can drag anyone along with him....Horner? Newey?
I agree it was a smart choice, just thought he would choose McLaren.
