People have speculated about Yuki going to AM given the Honda connection. But it seems that the only way this can happen is for Lance to step aside (I assume AM will always want a top name like Max, Alonso, etc. in the other car) and there seems to be no evidence this will happen anytime soon. Especially given Stroll Sr. has been working to build his F1 empire, why yank his son out just now that the ball is really rolling with getting Newey. Not that I agree that Lance should stay. I think Lance can be a decent driver, but in any other team he would have been given the boot a long time ago. But currently Lance is the pinnacle of pay drivers.

I was thinking along similar lines. If Dan and Checo are out the door by the end of the year (which would make sense to me), Red Bull are left with a superstar, a journeyman and a possible young hotshot to fill the four seats. That leaves an interesting vacancy.

Well Horner had already naned Hadjar and Lindblad from their own books.

I'm not convinced Hadjar is anything to write home about. He's seems to play the 'victim' a lot over the radio in F2 when he fails. Seems to have suspect racecraft too. In the ever more frequent races where he has qualified down the field he's hardly come through to rescue decent finishes. Hardly gobsmackimg ace in the making material.

Don't know huge amount about Lindblad, admittedly but seems pretty comsistent in F3?

Anyway it doesn't matter they'll sign George Russell! Lol.
