Kind of like the silly in season with the talk of Ricciardo replacing DeVries. Would Daniel take that drive? I mean, I guess it is potentially a path back to RB, but that car is crap this year.

IF Daniel is an above average F1 driver then he should be able to take DeVries' car and do better with it, scoring points may be a bit much but giving DeVries a break from the day to day rigors of driving may help him mature a bit more BUT only driving will help DeVries make his race craft better.

I mean, I guess it is potentially a path back to RB, but that car is crap this year. ^^ In 5 races this year what's his name, Yuki, has finished 11, 11, 10, 10, 11. Consider the fact that unless something happens to somebody ya have 6 teams, that being 12 cars fighting for 2 points paying positions. That crap car isn't doing to bad. So in Miami lancesgamble to run used softs in Q1 backfired so in that race ya had 12 cars fighting for 3 points positions but ya get my point.

Yes, and they may "force" him to do so. But I thought he was talking earlier about he only wanted to return in a competitive car. Perhaps I am mistaken.

He's 28 with a ton of experience; not sure that sitting out now will help. But I understand your point.

Perhaps I am mistaken. What it means is the press and everybody else get to speculate. As far as a crap car Tsunoda and Devries aren't exactly standards of driving to define a crap car. Tsunoda finished 10thish every race so far but neither is particularly known for F1 development chops.

Forced Nepotism used that strategy on both sides of the garage, Fred made it work, daddy's boy was just too slow. Same with the race, Lance couldn't get a podium potential car into the points.

Will Lance pull a Marco and realize he just isn't good enough and go race stadium super trucks.....

And how many drivers on the grid are? Nah, as long as his old man owns the team and he isn't a total embarrassment then he will be on the F1 grid. Especially if he sets his brake bias like Alonso suggests.

He's Canadian so it's either snowmobile racing, Hockey or Curling...unless daddy wants to buy a WEC team.

That was my thought, Lawrence takes Aston sports car racing and put his son in a seat.

I'd guess that Ferrari would have to have something pretty powerful in the makings to induce him to move. I don't foresee anyone but Verstappen as WDC for another couple of years.

Ferrari couldn't win with Max, they sure aren't winning with Hamilton. They will have the 4th best car at the end of the season.

I think it really kinda depends on the car design and the driver and how they get along together, remember Vettel won at Red Bull when they did the 'blown rear' but once it was outlawed and he went to Ferrari he wasn't nearly as good. I think if Ferrari's car can be flexible enough to work with Lewis's style of driving then it could work, but if the Ferrari is not designed with Lewis's 'style' in mind then he might as well stay where he is and just help George win.

There's already shade being thrown on the Daily Mail "story" with reports from Italy of a contract extension being close for Leclerc.

Honestly who at this time would think that going to Ferrari would secure him his 8th title? I am a Ferrari fan and I think it is pure horsehockey. At this point the only team on the grid that could give him a legitimate chance for #8 would be Red Bull, and they are simply not going to do it.
Right now Lewis is slipping to #2 at Merc. Young George has been out qualifying Lewis this season, and he has finished higher than Hamilton twice out of 5 races. So if I was a multi-time Champion intent on finding a better team, I would need to make sure I take care of business with my current team. Lewis simply has not. So it makes no sense for a team to drop big bucks on a driver that appears to be at the end of his career.
