      He doesn't have any better options in my opinion. The big teams except for Mercedes have their lineup. Merc has shown they're prioritizing their young driver and that leaves Alpine, Sauber, Haas and Williams. Williams are showing they're making systematic and fundamental changes to actually develop the project, and while Haas has outperformed them lately, they haven't shown that they're actually trying to make the systemic changes needed. Alpine is just a mess rn. That leaves sauber, which I'd say is in the same category as Williams. Only difference is that Williams has already started while Audi is lurking in the shadow waiting to take over properly. It's between Williams and Audi to convince him of the future prospects of the respective teams

    There is a geunuine opportunity for Stroll to leave Aston Martin.

He has said multiple times in Belgian podcasts that Lance is not happy racing (due to the constant critics, the lack of success...) and he has interest in running the businesses of his father. There were serious discussions to quit racing after last season. He decided to stay on for a year, but there is genuine chance that he is not there for next year.

    Red Bull resigning Perez is such a weird decision, especially if you have Lawson in the pipeline (either to replace someone at the sister team or directly) and Sainz on the market. I think that was a decision made to appease Verstappen. He completely controls Perez and Perez has accepted his place. Personally I'd like to see Mick in the second Alpine seat. I really want to see if he is "bad" or if it was mainly the environment at Haas (especially Steiner openly and constantly criticizing Mick).
    The situation around Antonelli is also weird. Clearly they see huge potential in him...but he doesn't exactly light the world on fire in F2 right now. But he is still so young. I wonder if it would be better to give him 1 or 2 more years in F2.

    I believe that doohan is criminally underrated. His first year of f2 was good as a rookie winning multiple races and his second season he finished 3rd. The first third of that season his car had lots of problems and the team couldn’t give him something to work with, but after the break doohan was the best driver on the grid, out scoring everyone else, and by quite a margin. Doohan scored 140 points from round 6-14 whereas Pourchare and Vesti only scored 119 points. So I think alpine will be very inclined to go with Jack

      Bearman will very likely be on the grid before Doohan. I can see it being Gasly & Bottas at Alpine. With Bearman & Riccardo at Haas.

      He easily clears those two.
      He's beaten his multi race winning teammate several times, and he's had far worse luck than those two while also not spinning or crashing as frequently.

    Putting aside a variety of logistical and cost issues, how good would it be to have 10 reserve drivers + top 10 F2 drivers duke it out a week after the last race in Abu Dabi every year in current F1 machinery?
    Would give us all a tremendous insight into who was ACTUALLY good.

    We NEED to give Lawson a seat in 2025, idc where. The guy was remarkable and knocked out verstappen in q2, when he was in the midst of breaking most consecutive f1 win record.
    The q2 elimination for verstappen became a factor for max not winning in singapore and continuing his streak. Lets not forget, the alpha tauri were TERRIBLE at that time, but lawson got that team a sample of some of their only points for the season
