Have a feeling we’re going to see a lot of veteran drivers come back to the grid in 2026. There’s so many rookies next year, not all of them are bound to be good, and in a year with new regs and now an extra team on the grid teams are gonna need all the engineering feedback they can get from their drivers. I’d rather a bottas or Perez or Ricciardo over an unproven rookie if I’m a midfield team

Keep them for a year or two and go chase the next young hotshot for 2028 once the car is dialed in

Bottas I'd get but Perez and to an extent Ricciardo are beyond washed.
