With Hamilton’s announced move to Ferrari, leaving Carlos Sainz Jr, without a seat for 2025, would Redbull consider their former Toro Rosso driver for a Redbull seat? Given their frustrations with Checo Perez, & Danny Ric’s lack of showing, could Sainz be the safe pair hands they are looking for??
I don’t think there’ll be any immediate decisions, so Danny Ric should have time to show a real revival of form, which wasn’t particular evident during his admittedly limited running last season… I can’t see him being on Mercs radar, they have a young gun waiting in the wings, so an Alonso move there could make sense, while they assess thier new charge. Alonso is still hungry & competitive, but probably only a couple of years away from the inevitable retirement, he’d also be a good partner pushing Russell. Sainz might earmark either Merc or Redbull as anything else would be a backwards step…🤷🏻♂️
Your probably right.
Merc will also use this to pressure test George. He should be eager to perform but also know if he doesn’t they will look to keep him as the spare.
I agree, George still needs someone to prove himself against & he still has a season with Hamilton anyway, so we’ll see…I’m never right about anything😅, & I actually do hope that Danny finds his mojo & the kind of form he showed against Max prior to him leaving…if he does, then that second Redbull seat will certainly be his…🤞🏻
