F1's next big moves in wide open 2025 driver market
Переглядів 337,996
День томуThere wasn't any movement on the Formula 1 grid between the end of last season and the start of 2024, but the 2025 driver market has already been blown wide open.
Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari leaves a vacancy at Mercedes while the recent Red Bull turmoil has even put into question Max Verstappen's future at the team.
Fernando Alonso might be weighing up one last roll of the driver market dice and who will form the final Sauber line-up before Audi enters F1?
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Ben Anderson join Glenn Freeman to discuss all that and more.

I’d much rather we first sort out the quality of the grid, rather than the quantity of cars on it. F1 should first aim for every single seat on the grid be occupied by talented drivers that will bring performance to a team. I can think of at least 3 driver who could be replaced tomorrow with someone better, as of right now. Only if we’re still facing a situation whereby talented young drivers are not getting a chance, will I strongly advocate for there to be a new team. Andretti was exciting, it’s a shame they were rejected, but the door is still open for 2028 and I’m very much in the opinion that it was done on purpose.

The idea we dont need more backmarkers is fine & all but you are basically saying it should be a 1 out, 0 in game & that nobody should ever get in.

@@EnfvntTerrible agreed. but the unfortunate reality is, a huge part of f1 is garnering fans for your team and sponsorships. and companies are more willing to sponsor a driver that many people like. the fact that danny ric has so many fans is the only reason he's still in f1. he's been given way too many second chances, and hasn't performed since his time at red bull. however, rb and red bull are gonna continue to keep him so they can do all their PR events with him and cash in the views!

A lot of people keep saying that Antonelli will go to Williams, but you have been ignoring what Vowles has been saying many many times: Williams will give preference to their own drivers. They don't want to be simple placeholders anymore. Also, so far, Antonelli hasn't shown a great deal yet. Shoehorning him into F1 next year may be very damaging
@teabagtowers3823 Місяць тому
Well unless Williams starts seriously performing that's all they're going to be a placeholder team and they have been for a long time. People want both Antonelli and Bearman in an F1 seat although ideally in a seat where they can build experience. Williams seems a fairly obvious choice for Antonelli if they get rid of the useless Sargeant. Meanwhile Haas they have two seats occupied by two older drivers who are definitely looking past their sell by date. Perfect place for Bearman to go and get some experience.
@gabrieldias3479 Місяць тому
Bearman in Haas next year is an almost 100% thing. But you can't compare Haas to Williams in any way. Gene Haas wants to spend as little money as possible, he is very happy buying everything he can from Ferrari and not having top drivers. That's one of the reasons Guenther left the team. Williams on the other hand seems very serious in "making it great again". Again, it's not MY opinion, it's what James Vowles himself said many times: he wants Williams to stop being a back marker and placeholder team. Will they achieve that? I hope so, but of course you can't be sure. Also, Kimi Antonelli hasn't shown anything spectacular so far. Of course, F2 has had only three races so far (six, if you count the sprints) and there are more 11 rounds to go. He can improve. But so far he's been a tad behind the drivers that are on their second or third season. I'm not saying he's a bad driver. He clearly is not. But his lack of experience is, so far, very obvious.
@seanonraet8327 Місяць тому
@@gabrieldias3479 if you look at antonelli's junior career so far it's been amazing. Unfortunately skipping f3 may not have been the best idea, I think he might need a couple of seasons in f2 if he doesn't end up fighting for the championship by the end of the season

Sainz could try another form of motorsport even if he isn't signed in 2025. Any team would willingly sign him taking his commitment to succeed into consideration. He'll have a relaxed career too compared to the likes of F1. There is a possibility that Logan Sargeant & Danny Ric may lose their seats next year.

F1 should financially reward teams for taking on top drivers from lower classes. Too many mediocre drivers who keep their seats because they are "good enough" or "safe options", not enough churn and fresh talent.
@ashaide Місяць тому
Now there's a thought. It doesn't even have to be straight up cash. Raise the team's cost cap by 10x what they pay the rookie (assuming a max rookie salary or 1m a year? I don't know how much rookies are paid). Give the team more wind tunnel time, or an extra engine replacement slot. But, yes, incentives to take in rookies would be a good idea, especially for the lower midfield who DO tend to favor older drivers because they'd rather have the "sure hands" thing than, say, what they saw Mick do.

Then bottom end teams like Haas will end up signing Mazepin regens every year.

Why wouldn't you want a safe option in an F1 car? I don't get this philosophy of putting external control on a team's important decisions. Just for fan service? Come on. Let them do what they think is best with their own cars.

@@lightfeather9953 Why are you even watching F1 then? 90% of the sport is seeing how teams work within the rules and restrictions placed upon them.

@@TheJonesdude No, he was a pay driver. Same as Stroll and many before him. Restrict it to the top couple of drivers in F2, maybe the winner of F3. Drivers must still qualify for a super license, obviously. Let's see some new talent in the sport!

I am having enough of talking about Max. We have seen it many times if the car is not within 0.2 sec to the top car driver can not do anything... Being able to make a dominant car is much more doable than having the best driver so then you only need a good driver which will still make you to win the championship with top car...
@MattMajcan Місяць тому
exactly, would anyone be talking about max as the best ever if he was stuck driving a sauber every week? no chance

Lots of talk about Antonelli but so far I dont think his debut season has been that much to talk about. We will see how his season develops, but I think its wise to not load all of mercedes hopes onto him Now what are your thoughts on the clickbait rumors of sebastian vettel desiring a comeback?
@KennethWrites Місяць тому
Getting ready to have our third F2 Champion without a seat. Add Bearman and Antonelli in there and we are gonna have a hell of a backlog of young drivers

Curious, Valteri Bottas was a great Mercedes driver and team mate. Any possibility Mercedes would bring him back? George and Valteri had one race together and it was going well until..... but they did make good team mates. Valteri has always been a good team mate.

It feels off for Toto to start courting Max Verstappen when just a few months ago he took a shot against Max getting 10 wins in a row after Italy on top of all the talk he's had against Red Bull, especially after Abu Dhabi 2021. I won't be surprised that it's borderline desperation because the rug has just been pulled from under him when Lewis announced a Ferrari move.

Alonso to Redbull would be epic! Sainz is more likely, but I would LOVE to see Alonso driving with Max!!
@launchsquid Місяць тому
I'm not making a prediction, mainly because I have in the past and hot it quite wrong. But I see some good sense in Max moving to Merc, mainly over Redbulls PU switch in 2026. Switching to Merc in 2025 is a year too soon but it might be necessary to make sure you don't miss the opportunity. That's why I see Max as the dam that will need to break for the other seats to be announced. If he swiches I see Carlos to Redbull and Alonso stay at Aston. If Max stays with Redbull I see logic in Merc picking up Carlos or Alonso, but if I were them I'd puck Carlos, as much as I kind of want Alonso to go there, but he's just too short term an option, they likevtheir drivers to be there for a while, Alonso doesn't have too many more years in F1.
@PhO3NiX96 Місяць тому
Well Ricciardo and Zhou are definitelly going home next year, so it should free up a space for Lawson and Bearman, not so sure about Antonelli

The issue is that Sauber isn’t at the stage of having a Hamilton join and embed themselves ahead of the success, they’re at the stage of needing a Schumacher to help build the team up only for someone to swoop in and take the later success. If Sainz went to Sauber now it’d be someone else that wins the first title for Audi
@jonasmcrae2 Місяць тому
These “experts” always in a hurry to find a replacement for Checo but reality is the guy is the only “safe” pair of hands RB has. He’s not a flight risk (max), he’s not looking at other teams (sainz/max), he’s not still under development (yuki), he’s relatively consistent (vs Daniel). So yeah sometimes slow and steady wins the race…
@tiagoferreira5368 Місяць тому
Carlos Sainz is the candidate for every seat that is available or might be available. I just hope he doesn't fall down to Audi/Sauber

Newey is 65. I can't see him starting a new project elsewhere and Red Bull know his worth. They'll give him what he wants.
@doghat1619 Місяць тому
It's not like Newey joined Red Bull and they were winning races the next year. The man took several years to build up a team and a department to get the car ready to fight for championships. Even if he joined Aston Martin, I doubt he'd be able to do enough to prepare them for 2026, he'd only have one year.

@@doghat1619 2026 rules are a continuation and simplification of current ones. Plus Aston is in better situation now than RB in the past. He would be fine. The rest is up to Honda.
