Soldato
Some say he is still driving around in 5th place this very moment.
He is just in Formula E.
I was impressed with JE Vergne when he went to F.E he was immediately fast. Currently a Ferrari driver though, so no chance of going to Merc.

Hmm, I hadn't considered Formula E drivers. Buemi got much else on? Plenty fast enough for a season as a 2nd driver, experienced and consistent and still fairly young. Would be a half decent shout for a season and he'd move heaven and earth for another shot at F1.
They'd much prefer a half decent current F1 driver, but if they don't think Wehrlein is up to it (in which case why continue funding his career?) and contracts are proving a pain, then why not Buemi.
Very good read, thanks for the link.
He makes a good point about Sainz, I bet he'd happily leave the RBR camp knowing his path to top tier driving is blocked by two very fast drivers. Can't see it happening though, shame, he's been mostly underrated and overlooked because of Vers.
He has, but I'm sure his performances were on par against Vers in the TR, which is why I'd like to see him in a top team. I'm amazed Kvyat kept his seat tbh.I feel sorry for Sainz. He's got completely overshadowed by Max. Also, I wonder whether there is a way back for Kvyat?

Ok if we're onto the bonkers ideas...
With Audi exiting WEC, how about a driver move in the other direction for once. Andre Lotterer?
Has Bruno Senna been mentioned yet?
I'd love to see Kobayashi and Sato back in F1.
Giancarlo Fisichella Or Jarno Trulli?

Retired from racing altogether, is 40 years old and frankly, not that good IMO.
More chance of Maldonado - at least he has experience with the Merc power units
