In car racing where there\u2019s smoke there\u2019s fire.<\/p>\n \u201cMark Webber is a shrewd operator, he\u2019s got very close connections with that team.<\/p>\n \u201cIf that\u2019s out there I think it\u2019s probably happening behind the scenes.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think it indicates Max is going to McLaren necessarily but what I think it indicates is that they\u2019re not happy there.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that McLaren have probably put all their eggs in Lando\u2019s basket, the writing\u2019s on the wall, depending on how this year shakes out.\u201d<\/p>\n
