If NASR to FINDIA, then maybe Manor full scale Merc- B team with same drivers : )

MAG stays Renault and Haas???
For me, with all information that I have read and received:

Nasr to Force India
Magnussen stays with Renault
Werhlein to Haas
Ocon stays with Manor
Giovinazzi or Haryanto to Manor
Palmer or Gutierrez to Sauber

Another step towards pure racing, exciting F1. Wasting Manor seat is one thing but 5th best car is a joke.
This is not serious. I am afraid that with Verstappen has begun a dangerous trend of bringing kids to F1. Sadly no one has the talent of Max.
Driving an F1 car is one big video game with G-force feedback so pretty much anybody over 13 is strong enough and smart enough to drive with enough racing experience and training.

Your only argument is jealousy and domination of F3 and you talk about "wasting time" :? ? So, copy/paste:

- who won last season? Who did he beat? How many seasons? Teams, competition (including within the team) Who owned this team btw, who used Williams's sim etc.
- You won F3? Congratulations, you earned at best midfield GP2 seat or WSR (is is still there?), you have 1,5-2 seasons to show what you're worth. Nothing more, nothing less.

Williams is the fifth best car = top ten and you have a nerve to claim that one season in F3 is a proof he deserves it more than at least 12 (literally a dozen) of other drivers and not that the only reason he's there that his father poured tens of millions into this project?

Hmm, possibly. I got this phone from a dying old man in a dusty old chinese pawn shop. he was lying on the floor and with his last bit of strength he gave me this phone with the f1tech window open. Looked like the poor sucker was addicted to F1. He wispered into my ear that I must carry on his legacy, with zeal! That this is the name I must carry. I was confused for sure but I took the phone anyway and told him to hang in there. He turned on his back, opened his arms, belted out a "F-U" to the heavens and died.
So maybe he was n smikle? Hmm. Come to think of it he must have changed username as some sort of symbol of his passing into the afterlife. Anyway. OK. Sad that i have to continue posting in his honour. But he said i will be richly rewarded if i continue.. So whatever. Hope it works out.

The Brazilian F1 journalists more reliable did not give many details about the Force India meeting that happened yesterday. They said negotiations advanced after the meeting. The official announcement will take place between Wednesday and Friday next week.

The new information is that Petrobras, Brazilian state oil company, which currently sponsors Williams since 2003, is involved in the negotiations and will offer a much larger amount than the $16 million offered by the Banco do Brasil. Will give a boost in negotiations between Nasr and Force India.

Nasr is the favorite to get the seat. If the information about Petrobrás is true, bye bye Ocon in Force India?

Renault is gonna end up with a rented Gasly or Palmer in the second car with proposals like that.

About Petrobras and Williams, Petrobras sponsored Williams during the BMW era but the deal ended there or shortly after.
When Massa was signed in 2014, Petrobras came back with.

With both Petrobras and Banco do Brasil Nasr might be close to the 35 mil Stroll is rumored to bring.

So Ocon is close to signing with Force India.

Eddie Jordan probably was right after all. Felipe Nasr should have received a proposal from Renault and he goes there. It would be the only way for him to give up talks with Force India, where he was the favorite.

I don't know if he makes his predictions only analyzing the drivers market like us or he receives inside information from the teams. It's very likely that he receive inside information.

Of course he receives inside information. In-fact, given that he is far more an F1 insider than a journalist it seems almost certain to me he is being given to release in order to communicate with other people in F1/put pressure on (or for whatever reason). You have to ask yourself that given who Eddie Jordan is, what is his motivation for releasing this information to the public, and also why is choosing to divulge this information but not others? When considering all of this, is it any wonder why he has a very good track record?
