I will be sad to see Carlos go, he is good driver and he has good chemistry with Lando and the team.....
On the other hand, I would love to see Daniel in Mclaren :)

My sentiments exactly, Daniel isn’t a bad replacement at all. I’m just a bit worried about his salary though, especially since McLaren would loose Estrella Galicia

Yes that is true, but with everything going on in the world, especially with the economic downfall I guess RIC would consider to sing for less

Well, they weren't that big to begin with and I'm sure sponsors would rather have Ricciardo or Vettel in the car than Sainz.

Let’s not forget that Ricciardo was the McLaren choice to replace Alonso for 2019 but he chose Renault and McLaren picked up Sainz as a second option as he was out of a drive because of Ricciardo displacing him. For McLaren, having two years of Sainz performing excellently during their renaissance before swapping to Ricciardo just in time for their perceived push up the grid might seem almost too good to be true.

Ricciardo is a proven race winner, definitely one of the very fastest drivers on the grid in both race & qualifying trim, has a wealth of experience in a variety of top teams now and has the personality to be able to shoulder the responsibility of de facto team leader.

Personally I think they would have seriously fallen on their feet if that were to happen. I wish Sainz all the best at Ferrari, he definitely deserves a shot at lead pack.

Incredible that Carlos F1 career has mirrored Fernando’s in terms of teams: Minardi (which was Toro Rosso), Renault, McLaren, Ferrari. Not in exactly the same order of course, but quite interesting!

Maybe McLaren was the team that caused all of this. Some German outlets reported that McLaren had an option on Sainz to add another year.

if we lose Sainz then its a simple matter of convincing Vettel to take the vacant McLaren seat. Vettel knows that McLaren wont give him a 40 mill salary they just have to convince him that McLaren is a project that can deliver. If they convince him that he will win again with McLaren he will take a small salary

There is an article in THE RACE that he is very fond of F1's history so he probably considers McLaren a great name in the sport (https://the-race.com/formula-1/what-f1- ... ompletely/)
Why would McLaren want Vettel? With Merc engines coming in they should have an eye on Russell if anyone if Sainz departs. Russell in a horrible Williams crashes less than Vettel in the 2nd best car on the grid. Russell and a discount on Merc engines is a better deal than Vettel on $5M+.
Mclaren can’t afford to have 2 rookies in the team at the same time... You “need” an experience driver... Both Norris and Russell have one season each in F1... Too soon for that pairing.
