Minardi-Acura, at the expense of Brandon Harley-Davidson.

I’m curious to see if McLaren actually got Key. Read somewhere that they said STR wanted “too much” for him, so maybe they gave up trading Norris?

This is getting ridiculous though. With all of the rumors flying, each midfield team has signed at least 5 drivers. Just read yesterday that Perez had signed with McLaren.

Cheko deserves a good drive and so does Stoffel, but McLaren is now full. STR, is supposedly getting the Torpedo back, which might go well for Hartley. Kimi is still getting the boot for L eclerc. Mercedes, Renault, and Red Bull both have their drivers figured out. This now leaves open seats at:

- Williams; Sirotkin is staying with his SMP money. Number 2 is still TBD

-Whatever Force India will be called; Lance Stroll is for sure getting a seat from daddy. Number 2 is still TBD

-Sauber; both seats are up for grabs

-Haas; Magnuson is safe, Romaine Lettuce still in limbo

This silly season is indeed, silly.

Indycar? Please go to Indycar.

Esteb an Oreo s really needs a seat, every time there’s a driver announcement and it’s not him I get a little sadder.

I am hoping Mercedes doesn't seat block him and he ends up in the Haas. I really hope he doesn't replace Fancy Lance at Williams, I don't see them getting any better next season.

I doubt that he will follow Alonso to America, especially with a sour taste in his mouth from McLaren.

I don’t think he be following Alonso so much as all of the talk about the Indycar field growing next year and him having ties to Honda even before McLaren. I think there’s a possibility he could end up driving a Honda in Indycar.

That being said I pretty much want the entire F1 field racing in Indycar. The racing is generally so much better. Except for Phoenix which is hopefully getting replaced by COTA (YAY!!!).

If you believe various foreign news sources, these are next year’ s midfield teams:

STR: Buemi, Vergne, Kvyat, Hartley, Vandoorne, but apparently not Norris

Haas: Kmag, Grosjean, Perez, and Leclerc

McLaren: Sainz, Norris, Perez, Ocon, but apparently not Ricciardo

RPFI: O con, Perez, Stroll and Kubica

Williams: Sirotkin, Ocon, Vandoorne, Kubica, and Russell

Sauber: Ericsson, Kimi, and Ocon, possibly also Perez.

...next thing you know, Mika Hakkinen will be announced as driving again.

Yeah I hope Ocon goes somewhere good, I don’t think they will let him go, they know he is a future prospect. Lance pisses me off, he isn’t really worth all this effort, I’m glad the team his daddy bought will be viable now but how can you take yourself seriously buying a team and giving your mediocre son a seat, everyone will be thinking it, it’s just embarrassing .
