Sebastian Vettel’s departure from Ferrari after this season caused a real transfer stir in Formula 1. The Italian team immediately agreed on the arrival of Carlos Sainz from McLaren, who will be replaced by Daniel Ricciardo. But who will go to the vacant position with the French team? There are several options.
Team boss Cyril Abiteboul admitted that someone from the Renault Riding Academy could come, but he would rather have an experienced driver. So is it going to be the return of Fernando Alonso, who won two world titles with a stable? The answer to this question was clear. The management is not interested in the Spanish legend and would like to see one of the current stars in its monopost.

For example, Valtteri Bottas, whose contract with Mercedes expires after the season. “Valtteri is a rider who can flood Hamilton, he is still very motivated and he wants to prove it to everyone,” Abiteboul said on planetf1.com. He would also be interested in the four-time world champion Vettel.
However, he has not yet revealed whether he intends to remain in Formula 1. “Vettel will be a free rider next year, his experience is undeniable, if he wants to continue, we would be interested in him as well,” added Abiteboul, who wants to work with his team for fourth place in the Constructors’ Cup this year.
