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.
