Don't think he'd ever go back to McLaren after leaving on bad terms although that was in the Dennis era. Williams are miles below him, no chance. So that leaves Merc or Aston Martin. Now Merc would be hilarious especially if Verstappen did end up joining them too. Aston Martin would make the most sense, it would be a similar situation to when he joined RB in 2005, a midtable team whom he could help morph into a powerhouse and call all the shots... ah except for the fact the owner is an absolute clown and would massively hinder his autonomy.

Germany should never have been allowed to fall off the calendar in the first place. Bin a sand Prix QUOTE(Mack. @ 25th April 2024, 05:09 PM) Red Bull design chief Adrian Newey is to leave the team in the wake of the controversy involving allegations about team principal Christian Horner. Newey, regarded as the greatest Formula 1 designer in history, has told Red Bull he wants to move on, BBC Sport has learned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cmm3v9ny78eo Silly season this year is gonna be mental

Germany should never have been allowed to fall off the calendar in the first place. Bin a sand Prix Agreed. Germany, Italy, France, Britain, Belgium and Monaco (not in that order) all have a historical significance to Grand Prix and Motor Racing that no other countries can match. They should be classed as Tier 1 countries and given special dispensation to remain on the calendar without fail. France is welcome to remodel Paul Ricard or build another track somewhere. Japan, USA, Australia, Canada, Austria, South Africa, Brazil should be Tier 2 because of historical and geographical importance. After that you can pick and 7 circuits in the world on a slightly rotating basis to give a calendar perfect 20 races. I'd go for 2 x GP of the Americas (Mexico, Miami, Vegas), 2 x European GP (Imola, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Netherlands, Russia one day maybe), 2 x Asian GP (Malaysia, Turkey, India, China, Singapore, Azerbaijan, Thailand, S. Korea, Vietnam potentially) and 1 x Middle East GP (Qatar, Saudi, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait)

We shouldn’t forget that the Grand Prix is a French invention (Renault won the first ever official Grand Prix in 1906) and the calendar should always have a European core. Beyond that, a more variable calendar would be really interesting and would help I think shake things up a little from year to year and keep casuals in touch. The approach works well for Formula E tbh, and it makes it feel a little more like a world championship and not a „which dictator paid the most“ championship

Hulkenberg is too good a driver to spend pretty much his whole F1 career in midfield/back of the pack teams. I hope as a team they make a leap forward and give Hulk a chance at a good end to his career/and a bloody podium!

It'll be good to see the grid shake up a bit. I guess it makes K Mag more likely to stay, depends on how Haas see rookie vs. experience again - think it's likely Bearman will take on of the seats. If Audi replace both drivers I'd be trying everything to get Bottas if they want an experienced driver.

He's had his China race now can't see any team wanting him as he's not shown any glimpses of greatness at all yet. So that leaves Audi as the only realistic option for Sainz. Think Merc will take a leap of faith with Antonelli and put him straight in the car to have a year before the big regs change. Red Bull will keep Perez so long as he keeps racking up the podiums and if they get rid of him they might risk promoting Tsunoda. But who knows what state that team will be in by the end of the year.
