Sainz has been mentioned as a possible for McLaren if Alonso leaves. And of course they've got Button too
Williams is an interesting one - presumably Strolls money will be staying, so they'll still need a grown up in the other car. Massa again? Safe but uninspiring. They've got Di Resta on the books as well if they need an injection of dour Scottish depression (although joking aside he's probably better than Stroll). Presumably Wehrlein isn't old enough?
The top teams look settled really unless Ferrari want to stick Perez in for a year? That would stir things up a bit further down the grid. Or Ferrari could put Grosjean or Magnussen in for a year with LeClerc in the Haas.
Spare seat at Renault - Kubica if his arm works, Sainz possibly if it doesn't. I don't think Sirotkin is a step up from Palmer is he? Other than that could they tempt Ocon back (but would Mercedes let him go there?).
Sauber is Ericsson and someone with budget you'd have thought.
Force India would presumably be happy to keep both of their drivers but if either goes could Wehrlein get a seat there?
Torro Rosso - tricky. Kvyat is surely out of the door? Sainz also could be on his way. Presumably Gasly would be first in line to replace one of them - but if they both left what then? Who else do Red Bull have in the pipeline that would be up to it?
