This is super fluid, and I could be wrong on all of it.

Things we know;
Piastri has a deal with McLaren they are just waiting on the contract board ruling. At this point Alpine are not likely to force Piastri to drive for them but just want money. They are likely to use that money to pay for the contract break to get French driver Pierre Gasly. Red Bull knows Gasly is leaving next year any way, so the open seat for cash is a good thing.

I think they pick up Mick Schumacher. He has officially been dropped by the Ferrari Academy so he will bring no extra dollars to Haas next year. Ocon has been pushing for Alpine to sign him, but I don't think that happens. I think he joins Red Bull Academy and takes the spot at AlphaTauri. Mick has really good potential as a second driver.

Giovinazzi is the Ferrari reserve, has Ferrari engine experience, I think he gets the Haas seat.

Williams has options for their second seat and can afford to wait, but Sargeant is in their academy. On track to finish second in F2. Having an American with three US races next year has to be intriguing.

Insider Clearing up some Santa Ono narratives in regard to athletics...

While it's true that Santa Ono is very engaged in the athletic department, which is great for the overall direction of the department in general, that's just who he is as a president.

In some aspects of the university, he is more hands-on but, in general, the opinion is that he is very engaged with how the university works, athletics included. He understands the importance of it.

Essentially, he's not going to come in and lay down the hammer of how he wants things to run. He's going to be engaged, for sure, but he's not going to force anyone's hand. He won't be forcing anyone out, either.
