if it's on all these places surely got to be true. surprising, thought he'd see out his contract and end it there.
 
Well, that's the cat among the pigeons!

Question is, will Mercedes keep that seat warm for Antonelli? Or are they going to bring in someone to run alongside George? Ocon, maybe?

I'd expect Ocon, Albon maybe, maybe even Mick if Toto is really that keen on him.
Assuming they really see Russell as a "No 1" - I'm not convinced myself but then the recognised real top drivers are all signed up now.
Wouldn't put it past them to just bring back Bottas

Kind of glad to see it. Frankly I don’t fancy Merc to ever catch RB in this set of regs so he might as well roll the dice and have a bit of fun to end his career.

Ferrari probably ain’t gonna do much better but least he can fulfil an ambition to drive for the prancing horse.

Haven’t had a Brit driving for Ferrari since ‘Il Lione’ Mansell have we? :)

In some respects this almost feels as much of a shock as his quitting McLaren and joining Mercedes back in 2012

I'd say that was more of a shock cause Mercedes appeared to be eating tyres going backwards.

At least, at the moment anyway, Ferrari on track appears to be an upgrade. Off the track? I don't know how many plans Lewis will go through. Wonder if he'll take Bono.
