Can't wait to see who takes his seat. This has been a great silly season.

They are probably going to bring up the next driver on the Red Bull development ladder. Apparently that would be Dan Ticktum.

That is unless Honda has a driver from their stable that they want to see in F1 as part of the engine deal.

Ticktum doesn’t have enough superlicence points, unfortunately. Maybe Sean Gelael since he’s their test driver.

 I wasn't aware Ticktum could get the points for his license, apparently he has to win the Euro F3 title. Talk about pressure.

If Ticktum can’t get enough points my guess is Gelael since he’s already their test driver. At the very least I think he’ll still remain in that role.

If they pick up a Japanese driver, my guess would be either Naoki Yamamoto (who drives for Team Mugen in Super Formula, was Gasly’s teammate there last year, and is currently second in the standings) or maaaaaaaaybe  Takuma Sato. Though that’s unlikely. My current guess is some combination of Hartley, Vandoorne, and Gelael.
