A big factor will be whether and if so in what form, Nissan remains in the sport with the current deal with Kelly Racing expiring at the end of 2018. Deny it as they will, other teams will be making overtures. And do Penske and Tickford continue with the FG X or explore an alternative platform?
In terms of drivers under contract, I think Coulthard, Courtney, Lowndes (option), McLaughlin, Mostert, Pye, Reynolds, Stanaway, Van Gisbergen and Waters are locked in subject to get out clauses, everything else is up for grabs.
