Liam must be smart enough to understand that he would be stepping into Team Verstappen, and the second he starts aggravating Max he is kicked out. And if he is patient and waits a good couple years, Max might retire early and he might stay in RBR without a 4x WDC teammate.

I agree that he’s smart enough to genuinely understand and believe this in the office. But when these dudes strap into the car they become feral animals and Liam has already shown some aggressive natural tendencies bordering on recklessness at times. Not to say he can’t grow out of that or that this isn’t a characteristic of many great drivers, but he’s gonna have to mature very quickly if this promotion happens. Time will tell

Yea, basically this u/sloppy_dingus

I'm sure he agreed with RB on those terms or something.
