Formula One’s silly season is usually one of the most exciting times of the year, with fans of the sport fascinated to see which drivers will switch teams. Red Bull are unlikely to partner Hamilton with Verstappen for the problems it would likely cause. However, one of that length could be a risk for the Monegasque driver. Leclerc is one of the quickest drivers on the grid and at 26 he has a lot of time ahead of him to win a championship. If Sainz were to leave, then a driver like Alex Albon could interest the Italian team. Red Bull are admirers, while Mercedes and Ferrari could view him as a future replacement for one of their drivers. The London born-Thai driver will certainly be an option for other teams on the grid if he continues his excellent form into 2024. Red Bull are famously brutal when it comes to young drivers in their junior team.
