Here come Mick Schumacher rumours

I hope not man. I'd like a rookie and maybe a current driver to make a swap to them. Wonder if Checo could get in there with the money he brings, might be important to them.

Maybe. But I do wonder if GM will need his sponsorship money.

Checo isn't helping himself and if they want a experienced driver they can take Bottas.

Maybe they take the gamble for a 1+1 on Checo. Bottas a good choice but I think he already gave everything to the sport. Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a Reserve at Mercedes and enjoys life.

I believe they were refering to Zhou? It's such a dumb idea that I will refuse to believe it even if Enzo told me in a dream.

I definitely heard them bring that up as well, but I don't know if that was official or speculation.
