What options do Mercedes have in the F1 driver market? - eviltoast
Lewis Hamilton's dramatic decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari for 2025 has ignited the Formula 1 headlines and the driver market. So what options do the Silver Arrows have with regards to a replacement?

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

    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

        Being good in WEC =/= being good in F1, as evidenced by countless drivers.
