says replacing Hulk who may go to Haas to replace Grosjean. If all true then Ocon and Russell must surely be considered for the same seat in the future. Must be a disappointment for Ocon.
A few sites are suggesting it will be Ocon to Renault to replace Hulkenberg. Which is the least interesting outcome imo.
Could get interesting if Hulk is off to Ferrari to replace a retiring Vettel. I'd be sad if Vettel did actually retire though.
I think Hulkenburg is destined to stay midfield. Seriously overrated IMHO. Makes mistakes under pressure, there is a reason he has yet to land a podium........and it can't all be bad luck when others have got them in the same machniery. If he gets Ferrari, he can consider himself seriously lucky.
Maybe if he does well with Haas it might catch the eye of Ferrari, but I think they will want a proven winner alongside LeClerc, or if LeClerc does the business why would they want Hulk at all?
Don’t get me wrong . I cannot see Hulk going to Ferrari unless there are some politics going on ? Ocon to Renault for 2020 , Hulk to Haas for 2020 . One of them to merc for 2021 ? I agreee Hulks age goes against him , but he seems pretty laid back .
Russell to partner Ham next year for me. Bottas is a great partner but somehow lacklustre. Would the 'German' team go for two brits though?
Toto has already ruled it out, although I appreciate that could well mean nothing. For the record I'd love it.
As HAM gets to pick it will obviously be Bottas as he is easy to beat. Rather than a young gun who could challenge him. In a way it's a bit gutless and Mercedes will miss a trick when Red Bull and Ferrari catch up more and really challenge them. A steal for Renault though
So HAM follows in the footsteps of Senna, Prost and Schumacher in picking teammates, if indeed that is true. All well know for being gutless
