The Formula 1 rumor mill has been activated, sparking speculation on which drivers will go where next season. If you visit a site like esportsbetting.com during the upcoming F1 season, you may find a different lineup of drivers for each team. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:
Max Verstappen is highly likely to continue with Red Bull, as the ongoing scandal within the team seems to be calming down. The Dutch driver is expected to maintain his dominance in the sport. Sergio Perez will once again join Verstappen at Red Bull, and it remains uncertain if anyone can match this formidable duo.
One of the biggest stories of the year was Lewis Hamilton’s move from Mercedes to Ferrari. It will be intriguing to see how he adapts to his new team. Charles Leclerc will seek to continue his strong performance with the Italian racing team in the upcoming season.
Lando Norris’s victory in Miami could signify a turning point for Formula 1, indicating that both McLaren and the British driver are on the rise. Oscar Piastri is set to join Norris as they strive to elevate McLaren’s position in the Constructors’ standings.
Mercedes has experienced a significant decline, but they hope to maintain some consistency with George Russell as their driver next season. However, they may introduce new talent by adding Kimi Antonelli to the team after his success in Formula 2 with Prema Racing.
At 42 years old, Fernando Alonso shows no signs of slowing down and is expected to have another solid season with Aston Martin alongside Lance Stroll.
Yuki Tsunoda has already scored 14 points for RB this season and is likely to stay for another campaign. However, due to the ongoing controversy involving Daniel Ricciardo, Liam Lawson could become a full-time driver for RB next season.
Esteban Ocon seems dissatisfied at Alpine and is expected to move to Haas at the end of the season. Additionally, Oliver Bearman from Formula 2 may join Haas.
If Ocon moves to Haas, it could create an opportunity for Jack Doohan to be promoted from his reserve driver role. Pierre Gasley is expected to remain at Alpine, despite not scoring points this season.
There are rumors that Valtteri Bottas could leave Sauber at the end of the season and potentially join Alex Albon at Williams.
Finally, it is conceivable that Nico Hulkenberg could move from Haas to Sauber to take Bottas’ place. There are also rumors that Carlos Sainz could leave Ferrari, but it is still uncertain if he would be willing to join Sauber.
