Option 1 - the Kimi buying a stake in the team theory (not as mich need for cash), Gio as Ferrari nominated driver. Option 2 - Kimi is in effect the Ferrari guy, Sauber still need cash, Ericsson stays and forms an all Scandinavian Sauber Super Team |

The talk now seems to be that Ferrari might be reluctant to release Giovinazzi from sim work, especially if Kvyat is also leaving.

All this talk makes me miss Super Aguri.

Giovinazzi being lined up to replace Ericsson. Be good if he got a second chance

I didn’t always rate Ericsson. He’s no Schumacher, but he’s upped his game to meet Leclerc’s challenge, and he’s well funded - Williams, you listening?

Wehrlein released by Merc.
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/w...cedes/3176671/ Now a free agent. Would be a good choice for Toro Rosso |

Also, this: https://www.autosport.com/dtm/news/1...des-after-2018 Might this make Red Bull/Toro Rosso look at him?

Might be a good idea, bit of youth and experience at STR

I cannot provide a source for this but I have heard that it may well be that Kimi 'and co' (Ferrari and other Kimi supporters) are looking to outmuscle Marcus and his lot... Which UK team would welcome a half decent driver with plenty of financial support? |

Toto on Ocon's situation: but, but they - lied to me! Maybe they don't like me.
Pretty clear in what he says that Benz still intends to get Esteban into one of their cars - probably showing that other teams have made the right call for their longer-term plans. |

Maybe in time Ocon will replace Bottas then Russell will replace Hamilton. If Mercedes are still in Formula 1, of course.

It’s an absolute travesty if Ocon was forced to sit out a year.
But Alonso did it, Massa did it. Two WDC and an almost title between them. Doesn’t make it any less acceptable though! |

Good point, he will probably get a Merc reserve driver role if worse comes to worse

Kvyat will be at Toro Rosso next year.
What a crazy career he has had in F1. With all the available young talent, for Kvyat to get a second, or is that a third chance, is incomprehensible. The superlicence requirements needs looking at. Seriously flawed if this guy can get a third shot in F1 while young talent is ignored. |

do you have an article for that or?...
Wehrlein would be a superb pick up for TR or any midfield team |

It’ll probably be announced at his home GP

So not sure how the superlicence requirements are 'seriously flawed' due to Kvyat. |
