I'm honestly surprised it's not Mick or Kimi (freshly 18 years old)
I think Merc learned their lesson about putting juniors into Williams when Williams blocked Russell from going to Merc in 2020
Fair point, always a risk If someone isn't in your car. But if Merc drags their heels someone could always pick Kimi up first
Unless Toto somehow succeeds in his wild recruit-Verstappen goose chase I'd say it's almost guaranteed that Kimi will be in the second Merc next year, so I don't think the risk of losing him is all that high. Though yes, if Max goes Merc Kimi might look for other options.
That's fair, I guess the seats are really narrowing down. I guess it's more than Williams wants to be a legit team, not a stepping stone. Someone has to keep the seat warm and not crash it till Carlos gets in it
