THE Formula One grid in 2024 could look hugely different to what it does now. It is also not out of the realms of possibility for a team to pick up a driver from an underperforming team. This would naturally lead to Perez’s departure, despite having a contract running to 2024. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have contracts which run until 2024 and both are performing well despite the team’s performance and reliability issues. Both have contracts running until 2024, and a French team with two French drivers would be expected to keep the line up barring an exceptional change in stance between now and the season’s end. The 19-year-old would represent the natural next choice given how he is already the team’s current reserve driver.
