A bit silly with regards to new teams then. I don't know who is going to be more credible than Andretti aligned with Cadillac.
It’s a joke to be hoenst.

Given their recent history of flopping, that would be pretty insane.
I'd put the chances of that happening at 25%, the idea that he'd risk being shown up by LeClerc is insane.
On the other hand, if he's prepared to retire then I suppose a 2 year hail Mary for the new rule changes might be worth it with an exit at that end of 2026 if it all goes wrong.
Personally, if I were him I'd be pushing a McLaren move.

Carlos Sainz hasn’t been treated well.
Yeah, if true and I were him I’d either go for the Audi drive or checos red bull seat

Sounds like it’s a done deal.

If LeClerc has not approved this then this is going to end very badly.

Merc Internal meeting at 14:00 today is expected to confirm Lewis is off.
Surprising on the one hand, but it's now or never for Lewis if he wants to tick this one off his bucket list.

The question then is whether it’s Ocon, Anachelli or a suprise to Mercedes then.
Que Alonso.

Would be surprised if it’s Sainz (fantastic timing for Perez though or the Hulk) but Albion or Gasly is a good shout.
Toto was the one who apparently wanted Bottas out for fresh talent though which suggests they might bet on Russel as number 1 and bring in Annotelli unless they can bribe Norris.

Albon would be a heck of a comeback story. I think he's done enough to justify giving him a go for a year at least. There are a lot of contracts coming up for 2026 so they'd be options then.
A swap for Sainz is the obvious choice, but I've personally never rated him that highly.

Sainz is obvious choice as he’s available. Hulk don’t see that. Albon and Gasly maybw. Norris is locked in at McLaren so no chance

He seems the best choice, out of contract, won’t be massively expensive, and merc csn tie in Antonelli in any Albon deal

Symapthies to Mick Schumacher. Has been waiting in the wings for exactly this opportunity and probably still won't get the chance.

Huge rumour that Lewis is replacing sainz next year at Ferrari.

How did I miss this 😂 yesterday it was Scorrier reporting it, which a very unreliable source but f1uno (reliable re ferrari) and gds (semi reliable for f1) started this morning

Mclaren just resigned norris and piastri is on. Longterm contract so that's shut. Red bull he doesn't want to go against max.
Ferrari and merc are the only options minus sauber. He's been linked going for a while but decided to stick with merc for whatever reason but I reckon he feels he isn't top dog anymore. What's interesting is the leclerc dynamic, as, no disrespect to georgy boy, leclerc is easily the fastest driver over 1 lap on the grid the last few seasons and is better in all areas vs George. Lewis will be slower in quali I reckon but his race pace will be very good / will be interesting to see how he compares to Charles as leclerc is very inconsistent re tyre wear (either chews them or is great)

Don't you mean antonelli?
Toto has confirmed kimi will be a while before he is in F1 but wouldn't be surprised if he is in merc in 26/27 season.
For now, Albon is the best option imo as he is in williams / vowles and toto will have seen how he is

Mick is driving alpine in wec this year and is loaded so no worries re that. I'd say if he does go back, it will be as albons replacement tbh at williams (my money is on Albon replacing Lewis, alternatively Alonso could go merc). Sainz id also throw in the ring, with yuki and hulk being dark horses (yuki I reckon will go Aston next year tbh or in 26)

its interesting that charles has signed a long-term contract around same time lewis has ditched a contract to the end of 26 with merc. The new head of mechanical engineering at ferrari was the guy responsible for Merc's very good tyre life / wet weather characteristics. There has also been a rumour going back a few months that vasseur may or may not have gotten Pierre Wache to join ferrari in the future. Also Simone Resta was expected to rejoin ferrari after his stint at haas but he left haas early.
If these engineers all end up joining ferrari, and they actualy dont screw up strategy / operationally, we could see them returning to the pinnacle
(Wache btw is the technical director at red bull / their main designer for the RB18/RB19/RB20). Simone Resta, whilst being Haas' main technical person, was the main designer for the 2017/2018/2019 ferraris
