I would hope DR goes to Ferrari or Merc. Renault might find their way forward or not, and climate could change and they abandon the sport before they get there. It’s too late in his career and too early in their progress to make a move like that.
Skye would have been great, but I would rather make a trip specifically for it and some other western islands a different time. Racing through it with one overnight (all we would have had time for) would have been a shame. My buddy has been there and my wife wants to go, so that is a better option. I can’t speak if average Scottish weather, but to have significant sun 5/7 days is a luxury in many climates. Sitting at the airport now I can say Scotland was a wonderful, if expensive holiday (yes, I come from Switzerland), and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be back.
