My prediction is that Sainz will replace Alonso at Aston Martin and Perez will lose his seat to Lawson and end up at RB with the chance of getting back to his seat if Lawson doesn't perform. Antonelli will take Hamilton's seat at Mercedes and will be the youngest driver ever. I think Riccardo will be out of F1 again but this time I don't see him returning. I can also see Sargent losing his seat if Williams can afford to replace him. Maybe they will risk another Rookie (Pourchaire perhaps???) but doubt they will want to take the risk (not be able to secure him) and will opt for an experienced driver, maybe Alonso who will be out of a seat??? However I see it more likely it will be Magnuson who will lose his seat to Bearman. I think we will see Alonso retire for good at the end of this season.

Sainz is the level of driver that Max would feel comfortable beating most weeks but would win enough races that Max would get way more credit for beating him over the course of the season. When it comes down to discussions about who is the greatest F1 driver one thing that always comes up when drivers have a dominant car is how did they compare against their teammate & what sort of teammate did they have.

I don't normally C+P from my other replies, but I will make an exception since so many people are questioning why there are criticisms of Checo. I'd say after last year, it's warranted. Let me do that C+P for you gents: Yes, Checo finished second. Now, here are some facts that will paint that P2 in a less glowing light: Checo had 2 wins, Max had 19. Checo has 2 poles vs. 12 from Max. Checo was off of the podium in 12 races, Max was off of it in 1. Checo ended the season with HALF the points of Max. That's one of the worst head to head stats of any team in 2023, certainly of a top team. So yeah, he by definition under performed. Had the RB not been such an amazing car last year, Max would still have won but Checo would almost certainly not have been second such was his performance gap. He is almost 300 points short of Max's haul but there is "only" about 80 points down to 6th from him... And nah, I am not a Max fan but I do like facts.

Unpopular opinion: Sainz wins have never been achieved due to pure driving and he's currently over rated due to those wins. Lemme elaborate; at Silverstone 2022, Max got damage and wasn't able to fight for the win. Charles got fucked by the strategy and also wasn't able to truly fight due to his tires. Checo came p2 but he also endured damaged during the race and even dropped to the back of the grid at one point. Singapore 2023: Max and Checo were unable to even get to Q3 due to the terrible balance of the car, making it the second time where Sainz gets a win and Max can't compete. Furthermore, Charles was told very early on to hold positions and create a gap to Carlos, essentially keeping Carlos safe. Australia 2024: Max retires, making it the third of Carlos wins where Max can't compete. Again, Charles is asked to hold position and not attack Carlos. Checo get penalized and also get's a bit of damage so he also can't compete. So what am I really saying? Is Carlos a bad driver? NO. I'm just saying his wins are far less impressive if you consider that 1) The biggest challenger (Max) is out of the race 2. Charles either is not allowed to attack or can't due to tire strategy and 3. The second Redbull (Checo) is also hampered due to balance or damage. If he can challenge Max on track and win, I'll get on the hypetrain.

Tsunoda will never go to Red Bull alongside Max. He seems like a good guy and definitely has potential, but his temper and lack of discipline would be terrible as a clear number 2 driver. To me, Sainz seems like the best option for Red Bull by far. I just don’t know if it would be the best choice for Sainz. We’ve already seen how difficult it is to drive alongside Max in a car that is so suited to Max’ driving style. I feel like he might underperform in the car, throwing a major shadow on his career and future opportunities. I hope he finds a team that suits him and can offer him a race winning car.

That's incorrect. If you only take the races where both Max and Carlos finished, it would be 26 vs 15 points in Verstappen's favor. Also, Verstappen scored 2x 4th places that year, whilst Carlos never managed higher than 7th once. Most of the times Carlos DNF'd, Verstappen was in front of him. (5 out of 7) That season, Max was 514 laps ahead of Carlos, whilst Carlos was 371 laps ahead of Max. Lastly, Verstappen was a 17 year old with only 1 season of F3 experience, whilst Carlos was a 20 year old with 5 years of single seater experience. If anything, Carlos should've dominated Verstappen, but everybody saw very clearly who the better driver was. Sainz didn't outperform Verstappen in pretty much every measure, only in Quali did Sainz have the upperhand (10-9)

I think besides the legends like Hamilton and Alonso, or the prodigies like Leclerc and Verstappen, he's probably the best driver on the grid right now.

Please frame your words carefully. We know F1 teams are brutal sink or swim environments, but it’s not so dramatic that so can say “Ferrari dumped Sainz”. They really like him and probably would have gave him a contract extension if there were so many reports of Audi being interested and having advanced talks with him and Lewis wanting out of Mercedes. Social media is now portraying “Sainz is on his revenge / villain era” and sensationalising how “Sainz is showing Ferrari what they’ll be missing and they fired the wrong driver”. He kind of is doing all of that, but I wouldn’t phrase it so dramatically. I also think people shouldn’t look too much into the “only non-Red Bull winner” aspect. The times when he “stopped Red Bull domination” is when their car didn’t drive well in Singapore and when they had mechanical problems. He didn’t crush Verstappen who was driving a perfectly healthy Red Bull. I’m not a Red Bull fanboy or Sainz hater, I really like Sainz and I’ll miss him at Ferrari so much, I just don’t like the over-sensationalist takes on the current situation and we should peg it back a bit.
