However, De Vries has also put himself in the frame elsewhere. He has been offered a test in the 2021 Alpine, and on Friday he met with Red Bull’s Helmut Marko in Graz with a view to driving for AlphaTauri next season, now that it’s clear thatDe Vries is a logical candidate as the intention is for the seat to go to someone who could one day move to Red Bull Racing as partner to Max Verstappen.
However, the American has to emerge from the final event in Abu Dhabi in November placed fifth or higher in the championship order to guarantee that he will get an FIA superlicence that will allow him to race next year. Another option is that Williams and Alpine could revive the loan deal that was planned for Oscar Piastri, but with Enstone protege Doohan making the sideways move.
I am fully ready to get US flag tattoo with the Williams W instead of stars!
How will Williams replace the £30m plus from Nick Latiffi .. I’m guessing Sergeant comes from Some money but maybe not the level of Latiffi, so Williams will have to part fund , doesn’t sound like the actions of Financial Investors of the type that own Williams? , let’s see..
Meanwhile, the fans reckon Logan will make it big in F1 seeing as he reminds the fans of Logan's run.
**Antonio Giovinazzi, who like De Vries is due to test the 2021 Alpine and is also connected to Mick Schumacher's Haas seat, is believed to be high on the list** If Antonio gets a second chance, this will be the proof the fans have been looking for that Antonio is really Jesus
**However, the American has to emerge from the final event in Abu Dhabi in November placed fifth or higher in the championship order to guarantee that he will get an FIA superlicence** Hmm... The fans are getting bad vibes the FIA will fix this race again
**If De Vries does join the Red Bull camp then the full focus of Williams will be on Sargeant, who has enjoyed a strong rookie year in the F2 championship** Yeah but unfortunately the Williams seat is haunted as all former Williams drivers either won 1 title or didn't win at all
**Its understood that a De Vries/Red Bull deal is not yet done. However, if it is eventually confirmed then Gasly will be free to move to Alpine** I doubt Gasly will make it to Alpine as teams dont like having two drivers from same nationality in a bid to broaden sponsorship pool

**Sargeant and Williams reserve driver Nyck are the two main names that have been connected with the seat currently occupied by Nicholas Latifi** With Nicky being Max's good luck charm, this isn't a good omen more so since Vettel is the only Newey champion with more than 2 titles
**Sargeant and Williams reserve driver Nyck de Vries are the two main names that have been connected with the seat currently occupied by Nicholas Latifi** After the praise Jost heaped on Nyck, I think he may get the gig due to Domencalli & the paddock being anti American
On the other hand a Williams gig for Logan is about the worst move to boost the US market. Logan needs to start out in a midfield team that can score points as that is the only way to boost the US fan base because Logan coming last will be a huge turn off for the fans
Wait, What?!!! As an American the fans are surprised Logan has been flying under the radar, it's almost as if he is an illegal immigrant to the US hence the lack of hype. So yes, good luck to Logan on getting a super license then we take it from there
Bigger question is where this leaves merc if hamilton decided to walk away at the end of next year?
What about Mid Schumacher though? Where will he go?
His last 3 races were absolutely awful but besides that he's been looking pretty good, I have more confidence in him then this other guy so many people have been drumming up it seemed out of nowhere
Please get him to F1
Mick Schumacher and Daniel Riccardio are out?
