Lewis Hamilton's dramatic decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari for 2025 has ignited the Formula 1 headlines and the driver market. So what options do the Silver Arrows have with regards to a replacement?

TL;DR:

  • Carlos Sainz, though sources say Aston Martin, Sauber, Alpine and Williams are potential teams where he could land
  • Alex Albon
  • Fernando Alonso, if he ever get lured from Aston
  • Daniel Ricciardo
  • Esteban Ocon, whom is managed by Toto Wolff
