Agree, it will come down to the value of Hamilton to the team, which will be an interesting dynamic. In my view, Hamilton is more valuable (2010 me is appalled I've just said that) for the experience and wisdom he brings.

I just cant see them giving Vasseur the time or the backing. If this happens it'll be announced mid-25 and Lewis will jump for 26 because sod working with Horner after 21.
Hoping it won't, would rather Vasseur than Horner! Just don't trust Ferrari management...

Perez we know is basically done deal. Crawford is American and fighting for F2, similar to Audi, this makes sense. Fred... I am just a stan and he drives for them in IMSA so there's a link and I can dream

Williams 🟦🟨
TP: James Vowles
Drivers: Alex Albon & Carlos Sainz
Sainz is the only one I'm still undecided on. Like, hes not been great? But he needs time to bed in. If he doesn't stay it'll be someone like Luke Browning, but I don't see this not being the lineup.

Fwiw I think if Max and George end up at Merc, Kimi will go here as this will be Alpine Mercedes but Gasly stays and Bottas comes in as an experienced hand.

The sharks are circling Fred Vasseur. And now an alternative with prestige is on the table. Lewis will quit when Horner rocks up and Ollie gets a call even though he's not ready.

*p.s. a 5s pen for this is never a good deterrent. It needs to be a mandated swap, or a stop/go. The option to just take the 5 or 10 seconds is fine if you're in a fast enough car. Penalties should hurt, breaking the rules shouldn't be a tactical thing, this isn't football.

Also, fwiw, i totally understand him not wanting to do the interview after the race. With the FIA being so precious about anything being seen as slanderous to them, I'd try to avoid it too. Today just wasn't Max's finest race. He deserved the 5s pen*, suck it up and race on.
