The closer we get to the start of the second part of the season, the clearer an idea we have on the line up for next year. Although, despite the chaos that concerns the plate situation still in limbo, there are other teams that have not yet defined their driver pairing for 2023.
How many empty seats
In fact, for next year, who confirmed their driver pairing are: Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and Aston Martin(following Alonso's official announcement). Question marks still arise because of the duel McLaren-Alpine for Oscar Piastri, In which landing in court seems be increasingly likely. The one who still has no news about his future is Mick Schumacher. The German pilot is waiting for contact from Haas, which in the meantime has already confirmed Magnussen for next year. Question marks also on tsunoda, which however should be renewed without problems, unlike Latifs ever closer to farewell from the Circus.
Alfa Romeo between Zhou and…
The puzzle therefore still needs to be filled and, in fact, also at Alfa Romeo It's time to make a decision Zhou. The Chinese driver, after a difficult start, had an excellent second half of the season, even finishing ahead of teammate Bottas in some circumstances. There's no point in denying that the Finn already has a place secured for next season, while why is the biscione team still holding back on Zhou? According to the latest, Alfa Romeo is also considering the Porchaire opportunity.
Alpha, speaking Vasseur
The French driver, currently second in F2, is in his last year in the minor category Vasseur, who in addition to being team principal of Alfa Romeo is also its manager, declared: “We will find a solution for Pourchaire”. Words that obviously make you reflect and they don't rule out an incredible twist, with Bottas reportedly preparing to have a new teammate from next season.
Everything still open
However, this is a situation yet to be seen. The fact is that the pilot market is increasingly coming to life and it won't take long to have news about it.
