With Alonso replacing Vettel at Aston Martin and Alpine left in shock after being turned down by Piastri, the F1 drivers’ market is in total CHAOS heading into the summer break… so at the height of ‘silly season’ how could the 2023 grid shape up?

Formula One isn’t unique to having a drivers’ market puzzle to solve – in fact the term ‘silly season’ is an annual staple of the sport as drivers and teams weigh up their future options. Another team who have zero interest in the drivers’ market right now. Red Bull could arguably not have a better driving pairing on balance of team and driver interests. First the simple equation – the team will be led by current driver Esteban Ocon next term. As Alpine’s reserve driver, Piastri was expected to replace him – albeit a year ahead of schedule – until his incredible snub after the team had confirmed the Australian. Another team in a right mess concerning its drivers next year. There are many concerns for the team going forward, but thankfully who will actually drive for them over possibly the next couple of years is not one of them.
