I’m 100% for this. I also could see it happening, Gene stayed many times he’s tired of running in the back. Both Stewart HAAS racing in NASCAR and HAAS racing in F1 have fallen off badly.

I hope not. I used to be a fan of Ocon, now I can't stand him. Seems like every teammate feels the same also. I get your teammate is the first one to want to beat you and there is always a little beef between them, but I don't think he has gotten along with a single teammate ever. I'd like to see Sainz take Perez's seat and Kimi take Lewis's seat. Danny Ric can go, and Lawson get his. I get Yuki thinks he is ready for the RedBull seat, but I don't see it. And I'm assuming they don't either based on his simulation running. They saw it with Gasly and Albon, don't need a third repeat with Yuki.
Speaking of seat changes, just saw the bombshell drop that Martin is going to Aprilla... I thought it was almost a done deal with Ducati taking him. Wow... what a shame, he should've been there last year. Guess we will see Marc in red next year.

Exactly this, except I think we are a couple years out from Kimi at Merc.
Williams is bidding for Sainz apparently, and I would guess if he ends up with RBR instead, Kimi may end up in a Williams before Merc.

That’s’ just evil ?
He’s got issues even bigger than Yuki’s anger management problems.

Canada GP this weekend. The question that I think a lot of people have is will RB bounce back this race? And maybe the more important question is will Perez bounce back and keep the RB constructors lead intact.
Now I'm going to talk positively about Max, even though I'm not a big fan of his. So over the past couple of seasons he seems to be treating his teammates a bit better and he's generally been in a better mood, I guess winning will do that right. What's different about this season and what I've personally noticed is just how much more mature Max has grown on the race track.
Let me expand on that. Years ago, when Max was earlier in his career, he had a bit slower car and would often times force risky passes, not concerned about self preservation. He also went beyond the cars limits fairly regularly. This year, his car is a bit slower, mind you I still think it's one of if not the fastest car on the grid, but he hasn't forced risky passes and he rarely gets caught out pushing the car beyond it's limits. This to me shows the true nature of not only a champion, but one that can sustain being at the top for many years.
Just thought I'd share that little bit of insight I have seen. As for who is going where and driving for who, man the rumors this season seem to be all over the place and really, it doesn't matter much. The big drivers are all locked in, Max, Lando, Lewis, Alonso, Charles, so I don't think it truly matters much who goes where and drives for who, as those drivers will either be a number one driver for a subpar team, or a number two driver on a decent team, so somewhat irrelevant.

I saw today Perez got a contract until 2026. Thats gotta be a big relief for him. maybe now he can stop worrying about his future and everything and just focus on racing.

Where do you guys think Carlos and Ocon will land? Now that Esteban has been cut as well. Gives Carlos more options I suppose.

Carlos will go to either Audi or Mercedes I think and Ocon will either go to Audi or Williams.

Obviously, what the guys say sometimes is just shit, but Toto said Carlos isn't going to Merc. Was reported Carlos wants a 2-year deal and Toto would only do 1 so he can get Kimi in 2026. Crazy to me that Stroll, Guanyu, Tsunoda, Ricciardo may have seats over Sainz in 2025. Rumors are that Tsunoda is ready to walk being passed up again. Lawson and Bearman I believe should be in seats next year (based on what they have done in their respective F1 races so far) and it looks promising with some saying Bearman in HAAS (unfortunately) and Lawson in at VCRB, I think Merc needs to give Kimi another year in F3 and then jump him up. (though he is easily handing Bearman his ass in the same car in F2)
Oh and Ocon can go. send him somewhere else. id rather Stroll or Sargent in there then Ocon.
