I can't see Danny Ric going to Aston. He felt the heat at RBR so jumped ship to Renault. That didn't work so he jumped again to McLaren. Leaving another team under a cloud would be the kiss of death for his career and his reputation, so I don't think it will happen. He just HAS to make it work at McLaren (and it has got better in the last couple of races).
I think Alpine would prefer to put Piastri in a Williams. A character-building time at the back of the grid didn't do George Russell any harm. It wouldn't take much of a change of form for Aston Martin to be competing directly against Alpine next year, and I don't think they would like being beaten by their newbie. That leaves Nico Hulkenberg as the best candidate. He's keen to come back, he's performed well as a super-sub, he's quick and reliable, he gives good technical feedback and he's a smiley bloke who doesn't throw his teddies out of the pram when things go badly. |

But if Hulk comes back, who would take over his role as supersub?

So, Aston Martin have identified a way to run with end plates on the rear wing.....

Alonso just announced. That didn't take long.

That seems like a retrograde move and he would be much better placed to fulfill the ambitions he talks about in this interview, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/62376428, if he were to stay at Alpine.

Given Lawrence Stroll's extensive interests in the fashion business,I wonder if he might have objections to Kimoa featuring on the car next year.

It will be interesting to see if Alpine can continue to improve once Alonso's gone and if Aston can benefit from his input, as Alpine have done.

I also think it will be interesting to see if Alonso can control his petulance when driving for his team-mate's fathers racing team...
