NeilP I think the Fiat Group always had it in their plans to buy Sauber and turn it into Alfa Romeo / Ferrari B-team. I do. I think Kimi is being kept on the grid for two reasons:

1) Just in case driving for Ferrari turns out to be too much for Leclerc, Ferrari have a ready to step into his shoes again replacement.
2) To bring on the Sauber / Alfa Romeo operation and perhaps Giovinazzi.

Honestly I can see why it's a shrewd move for Ferrari, and Sauber, but I just don't like the idea of Kimi pootling around in a Sauber, as a Kimi fan that'll sting. As to seeing Ericsson gone, yeah, if he could take Stroll, Vandorne, Hartly and Sirotkin with him it'd be greatly appreciated. lol.
