[Rumours] 2016 Driver Silly Season & Beyond

[wolfhound]

I know its an early start for this but the Mercedes Hamilton negociations seam to be dragging on a bit. From what I have read and heard there must be some sticking point and Mercedes seem to want to get it all signed, sealed and delivered.

However just as pure speculation on my part, if Hamilton were to move on to say Ferrari that would create an opening at Mercedes. Who would move into a plumb seat, there could be a long list. However if I were a Red Bull driver I would be looking at my options with all this talk of RB pulling out.

I am sure Alonso would also be interested unless the McLaren Honda is starting to show real potential by seasons end. I wonder what sort of buy out clauses he has.

The list of possibles for a Mercedes seat would include:
Alonso, Kimi and Ricciardo
with next on the list as outsiders could be
Bottas, Hulkenberg and Grosjean.

As I see it for next year Hamilton holds all the ace's
