Yeah I think it will be this week, be interesting to see who takes Russell’s seat at Williams. Part of me hopes Mick Schumacher but then I’d like to see him get the other seat at Alfa Romeo alongside Bottas.
That could be a goo pairing. I like Mick, he clearly has some talent and is stuck at the back in the Haas.
I was wondering could Williams be the team to break the mould and be the first then being a female driver into F1? They’ve already got the likes of Jamie Chadwick who’s (until this weekend) was topping the W series and won the last season as a development driver so could be a easy move over.
Jamie Chadwick doesn’t have enough super license points to race in F1. Even if she wins W series this year she’ll only have 25 points. Enough to drive in free practice but you need 40 to race.
She needs a year in F2 first to get decent super license points.
They could get someone on for a year while she goes out to get those points? Of all the Teams I think Williams are most likely to bring a female driver in.
Mick Schumacher deserves a better drive and with that surname he is bound to get the chance sooner or later.
Yeah I didn’t know how many points she had currently, guess that rules her out then.
@daws1159 Agreed, I do think if its going to be anyone it will be Williams who do it. Mick could well end up at Alfa in the other seat with both of theirs still being up for grabs.
Alfa would make sense, it’s another Ferrari engined car and you’ve got to bet good money on him ending up at Ferrari when he’s ready to make the leap.
100% expect him to end up at Ferrari
There are the rumours going round that Alfa could switch to Merc for their engine supplier, keeps Bottas with a Merc PU
All change please!
I wonder who could replace him
hmmmm, I wonder…
Could you imagine if they went with someone else the sport would melt down
lol, It would be interesting though. just pull the pin and throw the grenade.
Especially if it was Alex Albon
Reorge Gussel?
Disappointed I can’t make the same joke with his name…
That would defo cause some chaos.
Well it’s official now…
Wow. I’m shocked. Never saw this coming.
Worst kept secret in F1
I would absolutely love to see the whinger have Bottas’s luck and George to show us the driver he is without crying every other lap. Can’t stand Lewis and the way he rocks up dripping in gold with his second mummy carrying his stuff yet other drivers aren’t in your face as he is and don’t need a helper. I cringe when I see
Personally I’m a huge Lewis fan, don’t get the people that says he whinges (how dare the best driver tell people about his tyres,etc!) Also don’t get about the bits about his tax considering how much he actually pays along with the amount that he raises for charity…
