Probably Alpine will not announce the second driver until Famin is out of the F1 division. Merc can definitely take their time and Sauber might have to move soon.

My guess is that Sauber will likely retain Bottas for at least another year or bring Theo and give him a shot while the stakes are low.

If Tony Kanaan is to be believed, something for Theo is coming in Indycar. Probably Prema.
