Yup. Looks like RedBull following the Merc strategy.

Who do you think will replace Checo at the end of next year?

Mike Manley will not be the CEO of Ferrari
Mike Manley, whom many considered one of the favorites to take over from Louis Camilleri at the helm of Ferrari, has fallen off the list of future Maranello 'capos'.
Manley, current CEO of FCA, will take care of the interests of Stellantis - the conglomerate that will emerge next January with the merger of PSA and FCA, that is, the Peugeot and Fiat-Chrysler groups - in America, from the United States and Canada to Brazil and Argentina.
Manley, although British, knows the US market well. The spectacular development of Jeep - not only in North America but in the global market - and that of RAM, turned into an independent brand, are his works.
"We are very close to having Stellantis operational. Mike Manley will continue to play a fundamental role in the organization. Mike has done an extraordinary job at FCA, he is a promoter who has played a key role in this merger and his understanding with Carlos Tavares is absolute, both have common horizons, "said John Elkann in a letter to all FCA employees.
In it, Elkann affirms that "Mike Manley will assume, after the merger of FCA and PSA, the role of 'Head of Americas'", a capital position given the position of the Stellantis brands in these markets.

I don't see how they'd bring back a driver who has already failed and who hasn't been racing hence cannot prove himself, when there will be race-fit options available, including Checo himself. In my opinion RBR have effectively ended Albon's career. There are decent talents coming through from F2 as well. Also, if Gasly does well next year he'll be ahead of Albon on the options list surely.

RedBull is just keeping their options open. They're keeping Albon as reserve driver for next year and are willing to work with Albon...possibly for one more season so he could prove himself against Max.
Gasly's year was 2020 with Alpha Tauri and did exceptinally well with the team. He would be the last option for RedBull. Let's see how Tsunoda does against Gasly in his rookie year with Alpha Tauri.

That's what I'm saying doesn't make sense. RBR is not a driving school, it's a top tier racing team. They're not in the business to help struggling drivers get better, they want to win the championship and they want the best available drivers in their cars. I can't see what could possibly make them turn around in 2022 and say, "Albon is the best driver to partner Max," especially when he hasn't been racing for a year.

"And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it."
That's why I'm saying the whole keeping Albon story is just PR. They are 51% Thai owned but they still dropped him. Being Thai owned doesn't suddenly mean the objectives of the whole team change to a driving school and not a top tier team. There are British, Italian and German teams and drivers all along the paddock. This common nationality thing is nothing new. Again, they've dropped him already, there's no conceivable reason to bring him back from the sidelines. I'm not saying it's impossible but it's very unlikely. All this positive talk is PR.
(Try and make your point without making assumptions about how long I've watched F1, lest you end up making a fool of yourself.)

They put Albon on the sidelines for a better experienced and consistent driver whom also brings sponsership money......good tactical move for Redbull in the short term AND if Checo proves himself against Max, Checo could get an extension deal provided he adapts to the 2022 regs.
IF Perez does not prove himself.....RedBull has options regarding Albon or Tsunoda.......possibly Gasly. Albon has the backing of Dieter M., Horner, and Marko to include the Thai family. Albon got put to the side for a better driver.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Let's not assume that Red Bull won't bring Albon back. Kvyat got another chance after being away for a year. Alonso is making a return. Kimi came back after a sabbatical. Hulkenberg filled in for some races. Maybe Perez will suck against Max and they may have no choice but to bring back Albon. Never say never.

Question: is it possible for an F1 driver to go back to F2?

R Bull needs to bring back Honda.

Ferrari to set up Haas hub in Maranello
Due to the upcoming budget cap, Ferrari is going to cut its workforce. Part of the Ferrari staff will leave for Haas, which will also have its own branch in Ferrari's home base in Maranello.
Ferrari staff to Haas
Earlier it was announced that top engineer Simone Resta will move to Haas, but now it becomes clear that more staff will make the switch to the American team. This way, these employees don't have to move for their new job.
"These people will be working in a separate building, and will not have access to the Scuderia Ferrari building. It's separate and it will stay that way," said Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto to Motorsport.com.
He also says that Haas will just remain a customer team. "They will remain our customers. Some of our people are joining their team, which is a great opportunity for Haas. I think this will strengthen their organisation, also in the technical area," says Binotto.

A good move. Will help them to fight in the midfield if they develop a competitive car.
Sounds like Ferrari finally getting their s..t together. Between Haas, Alfa and Ferrari, should be lots of different concepts they can try and also verify them with different wind tunnels.
Looks like Mazepin's social media stunt has been swept under the rug.
He drives with HAAS next to Mick in 2021. Back to business as usual.
