Even the older guard doesn’t give up, which we were able to see in at the last race GP of Azerbaijan in Baku, where they are Sergio Perez in Sebastian Vettel won first and second place, Fernando Alonso in Kimi Raikkonen and championship points.
It seems so most racers it still sits firmly in its saddle before the so-called one begins or erupts Silly season or the time of pickles, where it’s basically for the annual stupid time of the racing market. Joe Saward presented his expectations in his blog: “Sergio Perez's victory in Baku will undoubtedly secure a seat at Red Bullu also in the 2022 season. Pierre Gasly and probably also Yuki Tsunoda have a valid contract with the AlphaTauri team for next year."
Savard does not provide for vacancies elsewhere either: "Esteban Ocon will remain in the Alpine team and the official confirmation of his contract extension can be expected as part of his home race of the French GP in Le Castellet next weekend. It also seems that the Alfa Romeo team will remain more or less unchanged."
Nevertheless, in his opinion, it exists one team, where the seat will most likely be available and here it is one of leading teams. "It may take some time for Mercedes to decide. For now, it looks like Lewis Hamilton will stay for another year, and then there’s public speculation here about who will be the second racer of the German team. I have a feeling there could be wild celebrations as part of the UK Grand Prix race weekend." Savard he wants to say that he is supposed to be George Russell v Silverstone officially confirmed as the new racer of the serial world champions.
