Gunther Steiner has given his prediction on the situation in the driver market. The former Haas team boss thinks Andrea Kimi Antonelli will replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, while Sauber will extend Valtteri Bottas’ contract.
“I think Kimi Antonelli will drive for Mercedes,” Steiner said on the Red Flags podcast. – Who will sign the contract with Sauber? I think they will keep Bottas. This is an upcoming Audi factory team and they need the best driver available. Alpine also needs the best driver available.
Over the years Bottas has won many races, but at the moment he simply cannot show everything he is capable of, because the car does not allow it. And he was always a good racer. Hulkenberg and Bottas will be a great line-up.
Who will be Pierre Gasly’s partner at Alpine? At Spa on the grid we interviewed Flavio Briatore for German TV and asked him this question. He answered that everyone was fighting for this place. I’m just repeating what Flavio said.
Kevin Magnussen could be a candidate. They also have Jack Duhan and Mick Schumacher. Don’t ask me about Schumacher because after the answer they will start writing insults to me again and I won’t be able to sleep well!
