When Prost was sacked from Ferrari, there was a rumour that Renault may get him into Williams, and the contracted Patrese would be put in a Ligier, through the engine deal.

Of course Prost did test with Ligier with a possibility of driving for them in 92.

Mike Thackwell was on the 1986 entry list with the RAM team. Alliot was linked there also with a second car, but they didn't made it at all.

Pierluigi Martini signed a contract to race at Ferrari in 1992. But he was swapped with Capelli.
After his 1989 performance in a Minardi, bigger teams got interested in him. Does anyone have a clue, which teams? |

Benetton were one but depends what you mean by 'biggee' as there were a lot more teams back then.

Bernie Ecclestone wanted a Raikkonen-M.Schumacher duo at Lotus for 2013. In this case Grosjean would ended up at Sauber.

I know Schumi was asked replace Raikkonen for the final two GPs, but apparently turned it down, so they went with Kovalainen instead

Grosjean had a lets say interesting contract for 2013. He signed for the first 4 or 5 races. If he would kept on crashing, he would be sacked, and Valsecchi would be his replacement, but as he was putting in a great performance, he was able to keep his seat.
Actually I was looking for what options RoGro had between 2012 and 2014 and just find three: -the Sauber one above -He talked to Ferrari in 2014 -And also through Eric Boullier, he could have had a Mclaren seat for 2015. |

I know Rahal tried to swap him and Irvine for 02, which ultimately led to his downfall

The fact he didn’t get Newey was just the start of it.

Mario Dominguez was a strong contender for a Jordan seat in 05, but lack of funding I think got in his way
