Audi F1 (formerly Sauber)
Cadillac (Ferrari) New Team Entry
Ferrari (Ferrari)

Good thread, well done for all the research required.
It’s interesting that there do seem to be more drivers than usual with their contracts ending after this season, which is likely a factor of the new regulation set. If, as we saw in 2014, one PU manufacturer has a clear advantage, then there could be a big scramble for a few seats for 2027.
Are Audi still going with their own new PU?

I guess the end of the 26 into the 27 season could see some, or a few moves? Potential retirements (LH and FA come to mind?) and some of the drivers finishing contracts, and the potential for get out clauses could be a bit like dominos?
Or things could end up just the same, and we get very few moves

On the latest 'F1 Beyond the Grid' podcast Woolff said that Kimi was three to five years from F1 maturity.
So, Mercedes don't plan to drop him any time soon.
Agreed but Toto also seems to like keeping drivers on their toes - noting how late Georges contract was agreed this year…So, Mercedes don't plan to drop him any time soon.
