Danny Ric is done, IMO... Not sure what happened to him, and I'm sad about it. He was mentioning "talking about next year's deal" to the press even though he has a contract for next year already. That suggests a potential agreed separation... If Colton Herta does reasonably OK in his test, bye bye Danny Ric. It's crazy, the guy was toe to toe with Max, but all of a sudden he is struggling badly - the monza win was a bit of a lucky thing. Then again it happens, look at Vettel, flashes but overall nothing to show anymore and 4 times WC...

The other Q is Alpine - Alonso or Piastri. Alonso is doing great but suffered terrible luck, problem is Piastri is supposed to be the second coming of Jesus and they cannot let him rot as a reserve driver. Maybe as a loaner to williams but why would they ? Or get rid of Fernando ? but he brings such drive and motivation to the team and IMO still is super competitive.

Then there's Mick. He's showing some signs but not enough, by a long shot..

Also Nicky Latifi is gone from Williams by year end, I wanna say too bad, because as pay drivers go, he is not bad (bad run of luck this year) and is a very articulate, polite, seemingly nice "rich son" type of driver, kinda the antithesis of a Mazepin. I was hoping he's surprise people.

We'll see.. I'm pissed they are talking about nixing Spa. I don't need a 12th middle east race, keep Spa !
