The latest rumour from the paddock reported by Joe Saward is that Hulkenberg will replace Gasly at RBR next year, with Ocon going to Renault.
If that happens it might just get Hulk on the podium hehe

if hulk gets bested by Danny and drops into the RB seat that'll say a lot about maxs place in that team - I believe RB favour max but not quite to that degree?

I’ve heard that from another source also. Just rumours though.

I wonder if RB ever regretted getting rid of JEV. He was far too good to let go into the wilderness.

More likely as Max replacement.... I think he will be on the move this summer.. (although Gasly will have to up his game if he wants his seat too).

Verstappen has been a class act this season.

He is the one driver on the grid who I feel would give Hamilton a hard time so Ferrari really needs to sign him up.

If not then Ricciardo.

But IMO Ferrari needs to replace Vettel before 2020.

I can't see Max leaving RB this year unless Vettel retires. He can't go anywhere but Ferrari & they aren't going to drop LeClerc

I can't see Hamilton wanting Verstappen alongside him unless you are thinking Hamilton to Ferrari?

If Vettel leaves Ferrari at the end of the season then it'll be to retire.

No 2 for a season while Lewis smashes his 8th WDC and breaks through 100 wins.

Lunch with Marko today, might even happen before the summer is over.

Never going to happen; Toto just doesn't need the grief it would bring.

I would love to see Verstappen in the Mercedes alongside Hamilton. But there is no way Verstappen would agree to be number 2 and there is no way Hamilton would want Verstappen there.

It would be another 2007.

I agree that he might rejoin the team, but one lunch with them means nothing. Seb has always maintained is friendship with Marko ever since joining Ferrari. He often has lunch in the Red Bull motorhome on race weekends.
