Wow - neither did Mercedes!
Wonder who they'll tap for that seat now? Wow, the silly season will be in full swing till they pick someone!
They could put Suzie Wolf in that car and she would be on every podium. Is it really a problem? Lewis is now #1 driver and they can put whoever they want in the #2 car and handily win the WCC until engine regs are changed.
Re Nico I am shocked but understand. He made a class move here and now at 31 can easily retire and enjoy what is most important, his beautiful wife and daughter.
Kudos to Nico.
A well written article about this topic.

Upon hearing of the race seat vacancy at Mercedes, Pastor Maldonado arrives in usual style.
