TL;DR:
- Carlos Sainz, though sources say Aston Martin, Sauber, Alpine and Williams are potential teams where he could land
- Alex Albon
- Fernando Alonso, if he ever get lured from Aston
- Daniel Ricciardo
- Esteban Ocon, whom is managed by Toto Wolff
Surprisingly no one seem to mention Mick Schumacher (who I have forgotten about until I saw him in a meme this morning), even though Toto made sure that he appeared alongside him at every GP 🙃
But not in a Merc he doesn’t!
You mean that Mick doesn’t deserve (as Toto calls the car) a “shitbox”?
Those merc garage appearances (like he did for Ocon and De Vries) are Toto being a driver manager, not Toto being a team boss.
I see a 0.5% chance that Merc hires Schumacher as GP driver.

Probably depends on his performance driving for Alpine in WEC
I’d pick Ocon over him, they just need a stopgap until Antonelli’s ready. But Gasly should be in contention too, he had a better season in his first year. Albon is just overrated by likeability.
I know they are famously bad at contracts, but isn’t Ocon contracted for a while at Alpine?
I thought of him first thing when I heard the news, but posting that, at least on Reddit, always gets a hoard of haters going.
