The 2019 F1 grid as it stands
Mercedes – Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas
Ferrari – Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc
Red Bull - Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly
Renault – Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg
Haas – Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen
McLaren – Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris
Force India – TBC
Toro Rosso – Daniil Kvyat and TBC
Sauber – Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi
Williams – George Russell and TBC
With only four seat remaining open, there are six 2018 drivers unconfirmed:
Stoffel Vandoorne, Sergio Perez, Esteban Ocon, Brendon Hartley, Lance Stroll, Sergey Sirotkin. Some official announcements stated that Russell was taking Stroll's seat, so perhaps we can be more confident that he is moving to Racing Point. That leaves 5 drivers and 3 seats. And don't forget there are other drivers on the fringe who have been talked about lot, such as Robert Kubica, Nicholas Latifi, and Artem Markelov. A field which basically already has 3 rookies would be hard pressed to add another. So, who will pair Russell or Kvyat? Who will pair with Stroll who is likely going to RP? So far, only two teams retain the same 2018 line-up, being Mercedes and Haas.
