Have a feeling if RBR can give him a competitive car...
...he'll stick around for the duration of his current contract. I heard one rumor on this weekend's F1 show that he might decide to jump over to Mercedes in a year or two. Who knows?

I can’t blame him. A driver wants to go as fast as the car will go,
right on the edge of the envelope. You have to manage the car during a race, considering tire wear and fuel loads, but in qualifying they want to hang it all out. FIA seemed to have admitted, off camera and off record, that the 50-50 power split was too ambitious and needed to make another step before going that route. Look for some changes between now and Miami GP.

The V-6 hybrid era isn't as much fun for the drivers...especially this era.
Especially this version where drivers have to perfect having to slow down on the track to recharge their batteries so they can pass the next car. It's more fun for the spectators, but the drivers aren't loving it.
