The information that Gabriel Bortoleto is to companion Nico Hulkenberg at Stake leaves only one seat nonetheless be confirmed… or is it two?
The one remaining emptiness is at RB, and whereas Liam Lawson is at present partnering Yuki Tsunoda, there stays the little query of Sergio Perez.
If, as appears seemingly, Perez is dropped by Pink Bull, Lawson could be the plain candidate, although Helmut Marko hasn’t been overly impressed with the kiwi’s two races to date since changing Daniel Ricciardo.
Perez insists that he can be on the 2025 grid – and he brings with him some substantial backing – however certainly would not need ‘demotion’ to Pink Bull’s second staff.
Then there may be Franco Colapinto who was being linked with Stake and Pink Bull till his disastrous Sunday in Brazil.
One will get the sensation that there would possibly but be some reshuffling earlier than the vehicles line up on the grid in Melbourne in March.
