The information that Gabriel Bortoleto is to associate Nico Hulkenberg at Stake leaves only one seat nonetheless be confirmed… or is it two?
The one remaining emptiness is at RB, and whereas Liam Lawson is presently partnering Yuki Tsunoda, there stays the little query of Sergio Perez.
If, as appears seemingly, Perez is dropped by Pink Bull, Lawson can be the plain candidate, although Helmut Marko hasn’t been overly impressed with the kiwi’s two races to date since changing Daniel Ricciardo.
Perez insists that he will likely be on the 2025 grid – and he brings with him some substantial backing – however certainly would not need ‘demotion’ to Pink Bull’s second crew.
Then there’s Franco Colapinto who was being linked with Stake and Pink Bull till his disastrous Sunday in Brazil.
One will get the sensation that there would possibly but be some reshuffling earlier than the automobiles line up on the grid in Melbourne in March.
