Stoffel Vandorne
I really think with McLarens much improved performance Alonso will stick around, and McLaren are dumping Lando Norris in their second car in 2019, make no mistake. Vandorne will be toast.
Lance Stroll
He looks awful, I know the car is crap, but he is making a crap car look truly terrible. Surely not even his daddy can save his seat now.
Marcus Ericsson
He's had way too many seasons in F1, and quite frankly Leclerc is finding his feet, and finding it's not too hard to beat the Swede comfortably, just like Wehrlein did, with the B-spec Sauber last year.
Romain Grosjean
Honestly I think his days are numbered. Were I Haas I'd be looking at his continued crapness and just say do one you big fat cry baby. He's making Magnusen look like a potentially WDC in waiting.
Do you think anyone else is for the chop next year?

Yeah, I very nearly threw Hartley in there too... but it's too soon for Dan Ticktum, and I'm not sure who else RBR have in their young driver program. Maybe he'll be saved because of that, but truth is the grid wouldn't miss him. I guess Sirotkin might be saved, unless the Williams becoming a Mercedes B team rumour are right, in which case we could see Williams with Wehrlein and Russell next year,

Shame to hear rumors about Hartley seat, but we knew this might happen with the ruthlessness shown by Toro Rosso and RedBull over the last years.
I wouldn't mind Williams being saved as a "B Team", be good to see driver roster there for talent. Wehrlein and Russel sounds good to me.
I think you're right Jody, Ericsson and Grosjean "Get the fudge out"

Vandorne, I don't know. Who would they replace him with, Norris? he hasn't been too convincing in F2 yet. If Alonso walks, there is no way, and McLaren could be really screwed. However, Vandorne became better in the second half of last season, it may happen again.

Well, it was only from the commentary that it was mentioned.

I know it's not good for repeat business, but I'd have greeted them with a shotgun!

Russell looks like the real deal. Just watching F2, he looks like he has most of the ingredients.

I think Norris is actually driving really well in F2. He's leading the championship and has driven well. Fair play to Russell as well, who has also caught the eye. Both are novices in F2 surrounded by multi-seasoned pro's like Markelov, DeVries, Aitken and Albon. They're showing up very well against a hard grid.
