Wouldn't be a wise choice for Charles unless he is very confident that he can be faster than Max on average - it would be a better bet to stay at a big team that is fully behind him. I think this is why Lando turned down Red Bull repeatedly.
Also don't think this is a good choice for Red Bull - they need a Hamilton-Bottas lineup and not Hamilton-Rosberg lineup. It's too risky unless you have the best car by a large margin, and with the cost cap and aero restrictions Red Bull can't be absolutely sure that their car will have this much of a clear advantage in the next two seasons.
I was thinking about that second seat and the ideal driver. I think they need a Hulk or Magnussen for that position. And then it struck me like a bolt of lightning, there is an ideal second driver on the grid, one who has proven his worth many times as a factor to clinch WCC and help the #1 driver. His name is Bottas!
How about RB hires Bottas for that second seat?
