Seems we only have two question marks left for next year. Will Kvyat and Albon keep their seats?
I said elsewhere but I believe the only reason that Red bull haven't announced Perez apart from maybe still working out the final details of the contract is that they don't want to de-motivate Albon that much by telling him he's dropped that he just loses his real drive to perform well (not that it really matters but it seems that Red bull probably feel that they are getting the absolute maximum out of him atm and anything less would be completely unacceptable for a red bull driver).
I mean let's not forget they have passed on Gasly and Gasly is often beating him or within a couple of tenths of him so the only person to beat Gasly to the red bull drive would have to be Perez and probably why we haven't heard much from Gasly about any disappointment about not getting the red bull drive next year despite how well he has gone this year.
