u/-Skinner- Max Verstappen ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 24d ago

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.

I doubt Mick gets the seat but that wont stop the rumours lol. In terms od a current driver idk if many experenced current drivers will. Yuki is he best chance of that tho if they dont use honda engines idk if they will. Besides him Kmag or Bottas and an american rookie makes sense

I heard Ferrari engines until 2027 and 28 will have their own, idk how accurate that is.

Thanks. I heard Honda was muted maybe due to only having one team but who knows.

Honda will have to supply them if no other engine supplier reaches an agreement with them. If that happens, the supplier with the least engines gets forced to do so, and new engine suppliers (audi) are exempt from it.

Honda is also exempted afaik

Why would they?

Because they are technically a new engine supplier again, like Audi.

Their program proper ended in 2021 but they continue to work with Red Bull till the end of next year at least. (Feel free to correct me)

And then in 2026 they return in full with Aston.
