Logan is definitely one that’s being dropped by the end of the year. And I also agree, there’s a pretty decent chance they drop him mid season, to start building some chemistry with the new driver.

They are not spreading rumors as much as they are speculating where the out-of-contract drivers will be in 2025. It’s pretty obvious that Logan Sargeant will be gone for 2025, unless he surpasses Alex Albon at Williams and actually starts to drive like an F1 driver. Right now Sargeant reminds me of everything that was wrong with Nikita Mazepin at Haas in 2021. And Sargeant is driving a better car than what Haas had in 2021. At the end of the 2021 season, Mazepin finished the Driver championship in 21st place, behind Robert Kubica (who only raced in two races)!

@fallenshallrise 14 дней назад

Let's talk about how these upcoming moves or the possibility of being dropped effects the racing. Teams aren't going to sabotage themselves but naturally the team is going to focus more on the driver who is staying so we can expect less support and second choice on strategy for Sainz and Hamilton. Haas is still going to treat Hulkenberg like a #1 even if he is leaving because they need the points / money. In the recent past we have seen drivers who are on their way out get aggressive trying to prove themselves to other potential teams, like Giovinazzi in his last season at his home race. Will we see KMag and Sargent and Zhou and maybe even Bottas making costly errors because they are pushing so hard for that one great performance that sticks in people's minds.

Why not have a rule for 2030 and beyond "Only 1 year contracts for all drivers - can only be signed between may-nov. I like this jeopardy and drama and also it gives new drivers a chance to sneak in. The time window stops team (e.g. McLarren) locking out other options super early and only 1 year means all drivers have the pressure (even the best). If it remains locked-in as 10 teams, I think this would be good. If it's a massive problem, maybe 2 year max would be a good compromise. Personally, I'd like an additional rule that says "you can't sign for the same team for more than 5 consecutive years" to make sure things get a good shake up every now and again

@davidfreiboth1360 14 дней назад

Interesting how keeping an underperforming driver in a seat due to blatant nepotism is just accepted. It appears very clear that Lawernce Stroll’s top priority is not the overall performance of the team (despite the significant $$ he has spent to improve performance). Rather, the top priority appears to be keeping his only son racing in F1. From an objective perspective dear Lance, as talented as he is, should be off to sports cars by now. The short-sighted effect of passing over race winners like Charlie Sainz and Serg Perez to keep the favored son in a seat is, well, statistically unsupportable. Yet the old man is willing to give up performance to keep his pampered kid in a seat. I guess it’s his money and if he gets more pleasure out of spoiling his children rather than rewarding the hard work of his team then so be it. The toll it takes on those in the trenches, however, must be measurable. Pity that this kind of nepotism is just accepted as SOP.

Let's work it out logically. Red Bull - who is the best they can get right now? Sainz. Ferrari is done. McLaren is done. Aston Martin is done. Mercedes - Too early for Antonelli. Must be Albon then? Audi - Can't see anyone being better than Bottas, with no Sainz or Albon. Williams have 2 seats. One would have to be Antonelli (to swap with either Albon or Russell later). Who else? Ricciardo is probably the best bet (with Saint in at Red Bull). Alpine - Options now closing down. Ocon and Gasly stick. RB - Same for Tsunoda (maybe a move for 2026). Liam Lawson for the other seat (must be)! That leaves Haas - That leaves Perez and Bearman.

thats exactly what I thought as well - but Albon already extended his contract I would love to see Antonelli replacing Logan right now and get the crazy move to Mercedes already in 2025

Who says Stroll will be in the team, his father is the weakest link in Aston Martin

I think things are working out really poorly for Albon to make a big move. Put in great performances when it wasn’t of use and hasn’t got the car to do so now that it might be.

In the states we have an NFL ruleset surrounding “tampering” with players and coaches under contract. Moves only happen during the off-season, which prevents these lame-duck seasons where it feels like a lot of teams/drivers have their heads into the next not current season
