Hmmm, yes that's all quite possible. But like I said before, the Ferrari drive should it become available, could be difficult for any hotshot if they are expected to just play second fiddle like Kimi has. That will only suit a handful of drivers to be honest. Force India may not want to put all their eggs in a Mercedes basket regarding drivers either. It might save the a few bob on engines but it might prevent them attracting other talented wallets should Checo depart.
