One driver after another is now being linked with Lewis Hamilton's seat, which becomes vacant after next season. Carlos Sainz is mentioned, the driver to make way for the seven-time world champion at Ferrari. And Fernando Alonso, whose commitment with Aston Martin expires after next season, is also in the picture. Even Daniel Ricciardo is said to be in the picture, although Helmut Marko has already hinted that the Australian has a multi-year contract with Red Bull.
