In Formula One, speaking of the pilot market, very interesting months are ahead. Many pilots who risk their place, as well as the new entries clamoring for a seat in 2023.
Driver market: McLaren active
One of the most intriguing situations is at home McLaren. The Woking stable is certainly not going through a moment of great form, above all with Daniel Ricciardo. The McLaren driver is severely in trouble. The results, including the last one also very disappointing a Monaco, speak for themselves: the Australian is in crisis. They are struggling to get points, which could shock both him and the team itself, so far led by Lando Norris.
Ricciardo risks
Ricciardo has the contract expiring in 2023. So yet another year with the Woking team, but the roads are not excluded they can be separated at the end of the season. Hypothesis that not even Zack Brown has completely rejected: “I don't want to go into the details of the contract, but there are mechanisms in which the two parties have precise reciprocal commitments and others less so. I spoke to Daniel about it, we are not getting the results we both hoped for, but we are pushing and we will continue to do so".
Following these statements, Ricciardo's response was not long in coming: "My future is clear: I have a contract until 2023."

The gasly dream
Regardless of what the contract says, the possibility that Ricciardo may leave McLaren at the end of the year is not excluded. But, if so, who would be ready to replace him? The English team reflects on this and studies different names. At the top of the wish list is Pierre's gasly. the pilot ofAlpha Tauri, with the official of the renewal of Perez, could also decide to say goodbye to Red Bull soon to be able to establish himself as a top driver in a top team.

Look at IndyCar
The option that leads to Oscar is not excluded Piastres. The Australian driver, in case one of Ricciardo and Norris has problems during a race week, could already be at Brown's disposal, following of the agreement with Alpine. However, the French team reflects on Piastri's future. In fact, a possible arrival of his own in is not excluded Alpine since 2023, which would result in a miss renewal of Alonso.
Finally, McLaren is also looking outside Formula One. In fact, the two IndyCar drivers Pato are also on the list to replace Ricciardo O'Ward and Colton Herta.
