Franco Colapinto comes completely out of left field? I had not heard that they were considering him, but makes sense probably to get data on your own Academy driver when you can.
I guess Ralf Schumacher will whine again next weekend because it's not Mick.
-
I'm honestly surprised it's not Mick or Kimi (freshly 18 years old)
-
I think Merc learned their lesson about putting juniors into Williams when Williams blocked Russell from going to Merc in 2020
-
Fair point, always a risk If someone isn't in your car. But if Merc drags their heels someone could always pick Kimi up first
-
Unless Toto somehow succeeds in his wild recruit-Verstappen goose chase I'd say it's almost guaranteed that Kimi will be in the second Merc next year, so I don't think the risk of losing him is all that high. Though yes, if Max goes Merc Kimi might look for other options.

That's fair, I guess the seats are really narrowing down. I guess it's more than Williams wants to be a legit team, not a stepping stone. Someone has to keep the seat warm and not crash it till Carlos gets in it

I guess they would really, really like it if their own academy driver is actually good, yeah. Considering both their seats are taken for the short term, it makes a bit of sense to get a gauge on whether Colapinto is worth investing in for the long term.
