Who do YOU Want in a Mercedes Next Season ?

[Tume]

Bottas. 'nuff said.

Spoiler

Also I heard Alonso is not going to Merc so..?

 

[Chris]

Out of all the contenders, the most deserving driver of that seat is the one who is ignored the most.

Carlos Sainz Jr.

If I were Toto Wolff I'd be pulling out all the stops to get that guy in my car.

 

[Hygge]

Alonso for two reasons.

Firstly, I regard him as one of the strongest drivers and it would spice up the next season to see what he can do alongside Hamilton. Could mean fierce battles both on and off the track.

Secondly, as Alonso unfortunately has the worst timing in the history of F1, him leaving McLaren would consequently mean that they will be a top team again next year which would be great.

All three are deserving; however, I think Pascal Wehrlein has the most upside of the bunch. I may be a bit partial as a DTM fan, but I was impressed by his driving for most of the 2016 season...especially seeing him race in a Manor with it's "go kart engine" vs real F1 engines.

Alonzo v.s. Hamilton would peak everyone's interest. Plus I don't think he's near done. Ask Johnny Herbert who earlier in the season said he ought to retire. That was added motivation. Plus I think he is the best at overall racecraft. But maybe the answer is a short term deal with a driver until someone more interesting and a bit younger is available. Maybe Perez for example or Grosjean although he's probably eyeing Kimi's seat for 2018

 

[Blimey]

Alonso will retire before he would win again.

 

[RustyDriver00]

Pascal only cause I put money on him

 

[Kakusso]

I would love to see the Iceman - Kimi Raikkonen.

 

[Blkout]

I'd go with Sergio Perez over Bottas, he gets every bit out of that Force India and has placed on the podium more than a few times.

 

[NL-Jos]

VERSTAPPEN (Jos)


Just kidding
I vote for Mick Schumacher

 

[LeSunTzu]

Sergio Perez

 

[Andy 'Mars Bar' Graham]

I would love to see the Iceman - Kimi Raikkonen.

Sorry, but Mercedes aren't going to sign a number two who is way past it. It would be an interesting partnership for sure but it would have been better in the earlier years of Lewis's career

 

[Fonsecker]

Pascal Wehrlein ftw!! I don´t like Hamilton as a person and it would be a pleasure to see Pascal driving faster than Hamilton!

 

[Philip Antonia]

Alonso for me!! Bottas is a good driver, but you need someone who can take on Lewis at all levels, on the track and psychologically!!

 

[Colin Knowles]

Vettel's 4 championships Vs Hamiltons 3 titles. Now I would pay to see that

 

[Ernie]

I think that Valtteri would give Lewis a hard time on the track, which could be exciting to see. So my vote goes to Bottas.

 

[fortyfivekev]

Sainz. Young guy with plenty of years ahead. He would be another Verstappen which is what the sport needs.

This poll completely ignores the most obvious choice:

@Tobias Röhner .

Get in there, Tobi.

Psst, nobody must know before it's ready to be announced.

You heard it first here, ladies and gents.
Confirmation then, @Tobias Röhner , the first driver to go from simracing (and some local karting events) directly into Formula 1.
You're an inspiration to us all, tobes
