Im with you on that.... more news today makes my belief stronger, with Vandoorne getting the Mercedes simulator gig over the much more Mercedes aligned Ocon. Good for Vandoorne, as with his electric series gig and this Merc simulator gig as well he will keep his name in the F1 paddock for the future. A simulator b**ch gig at Ferrari did not do Kvyat any harm did it.
But there has to be a good reason why one so aligned with Mercedes, and who has indicated they would be in the F1 paddock anyway, would be overlooked in favour of Vandoorne.
I would put money on Ocon to Williams for at least 2019.
