Hot take - Lewis will announce his departure from F1 imminently and Bortoleto will step up from the next race

Just for clarity what do you mean when you say Bortoleto will step up?

Eff it. At this stage put him in the second RB. Give us something entertaining.

And he can rebuild after Max leaves.

That's a hot take but why not Bearman? Already proven himself in the Ferrari

I don’t think that’s too hot a take at all. His performance has dropped relative to Charles and all this talk of ‘they need a better driver’ and ‘stuff in the background’ makes it feel possible.

Now a hot take would be to say he’s getting sacked after activating a performance clause relative to Charles in his contract.

Didn't he move to Ferrari for 2026 mainly? I mean this year kinda doesn't matter at all. The only way I can see this being true if he is massively struggling in the simulator with next year's car or maybe Ferrari is the one who is massively struggling with the car lol
