Look for Checo to replace Kimi. Sounds like Pierre wants another shot at RB with Albon being demoted...Kyvat could be replaced by Tomosi. What about Haas? would they move up Fidippaldi?


Checo to Haas would make a lot of $ sense for the American team. Checo would be a great fit with his tire management skills.

I figured Mick and Gio would team up, or some form of that, at Alfa next year.

I guess it is a given Kimi is gone?

love to see RB say F-it and add Checo or Kimi for one year.

Let Pierre and Albon battle in the AT for the entire year. Then they can promote the winner and be done with it. Kyvit is done.



RoGro has to go at Haas. Checo at Haas seems correct, assuming my RB pipe dream doesn't come true.

Crazy that Kimi went from 3rd to Alfa in one silly season.
It would be awesome for F1 to be on a top team again.

That would make sense. Ferrari has a bit of a logjam in its junior program. The top 3 drivers in the F2 standings are in their program.

Callum Ilott (21)
Mick Schumacher (21)
Robert Shwartzman (21 in a few days)

They probably need to place at least two of those guys next year. Maybe even all three.

For entertainment purposes I hope the Ferrari/Vettel relationship continues to get crappy. It feels like they're not giving him their best, so he's not giving them his best, and there's no doubt the announcement of his move to Aston Point India was timed this weekend to rain on their parade for their 1000th grand prix.

What is the connection with Haas? I know Alfa has a connection. I thought Haas was switching engines for next year.

If you haven’t seen GeorgeRussel63’s instagram post, you really should...

F1 posted to their main page and the comments from the other drivers are gold...

Haas entered into F1 by purchasing not only the power units from Ferrari but as many parts as they could legally purchase to save themselves time and money on development. Part of the agreement is they also get to use Ferrari's wind tunnel for their own development.

Mclaren is the only team switching engines next year, from Renault to Mercedes. I think they had to get special permission to do so as there's a freeze on some development for 2021.

As YOURADHERE pointed out they're just a customer team of Ferrari with a pretty close relationship. Given their relationship it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for Ferrari to buy one of the Haas seats for one of their young drivers.

Here is some spicy news...

Zac Brown is trying to bring Checo into full time Indy Racing in 3rd Arrow McLaren Team car. He would tear up the Indy circuit.

Sounds serious.

Shows how much money Lawrence Stroll must be willing to fork up to make this happen, he's losing out on Sergio's financial backing, will have to cut him a nice fat check for terminating his contract early, and is giving their title sponsor BWT the boot.


Stroll got in on Aston Martin at less then $5/share...Stroll looks to be making a shite ton of money here when Aston Martin is full time in F1 next year for 10 years.
