HAAS & Kick Sauber;

Bearman, Antonelli, Newey

Yesterday it was announced Niko Hülkenberg will drive for Kick Sauber F1 Team next year.

It is not the biggest deal but it is interesting to think whose place he took. I believe it is Valterri’s. I have read Zhou is a “payer” driver since he brought a sponsor with him so it wouldn’t make sense to lose him for Hülkenberg. Bottas and Niko are more experienced drivers and they are very helpful to improve Kick’s performances but the problem is the car. Valterri won and had an amazing career in Merceds and now he can barely scores points, Zhou was a great young driver in F3 and F2! In 2021 he participated with the Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema team in the Asian F3 Championship. In the last race on the Yas Marina circuit he won the championship with sixteen points behind Pierre-Louis Chovet. Also in F2 he finished 3^ as best result. Not so bad after all! He also deserves a better car! So if he’s a payer the Scuderia needs him, if he’s not he still deserves a seat in Kick (especially after his amazing performance during the Sprint Race in China!)

People are speculating Oliver Bearman will take Niko’s place in Haas. It would be awesome for him to drive AGAIN an F1 so young but after his performance I was hoping he would get a better car. But everyone has to start somewhere from the bottom and then raise.

Let’s pretend Magnussen will re-sign with Haas, do you think Kevin is willing to cover Oliver’s shoulders? As an experienced driver he wouldn’t be so keen to do so to someone so young! (Or at least I presume, maybe he will get orders from the box to do so or maybe he will understand his time as a driver has come and help “the boy”). But we are not so sure about Kevin’s contract so let’s go on with our news.

I have read on Italian sites that Williams might want to replace Logan with Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the Italian enfant prodige, who skipped F3. It’s just a rumor but if it turns out to be true I’m not so sure I agree with it. I have this feeling that Kimi’s career it’s getting burned, people are expecting him to be the new Senna and I think it’s not good for him. I know F1 is a though job, drivers have a strong mentality and it’s literally their job to manage such things. But kindness and respect are free, we should not push him BEFORE his debut in F1. “Every fruits have their on season”. And if he doesn’t replace Sargeant do you think Mercedes will take him to take Lewis’ place? I’m not so sure, I think they will take him in 2026 but next year might be too soon.

Last rumor of the day! Apparently Newey has rejected Aston Martin’s offer! It is getting more and more interesting, TIFOSI LET’S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED!

Thank you guys for your attention, let me know what you think!
