So according to AMuS, there are talks between Ferrari and Haas, in regards to Haas doing the same as Alfa Romeo and give one seat to a FDA driver next year.
Pull Robert Shwartzman into Alfa in place of Gio, Mick To Haas In place of RG... that would do good.

Not sure about the authenticity but rumor is that Ineos & some British investor are in talks of taking over Mercedes F1 team
Hopefully for every day that passes, the stalemate between Hammy and Daimler will become starker. Would be so hilarious if he priced himself out of a new contract like Dovizioso did with Ducati. With the 2020 car still being around, Mercedes would win the title also with Bottas or Russell next year anyway. So knowing that in addition to him making insane public statements causing bad PR for Daimer, he really should have no bargaining power.
With him and Toto gone, I might watch a full race again even if our car is a damn turtle.
Lewis is simply trying to cash in while he can.The value of f1 has gone out the door Damlier are having difficulty justifying his demands he needs to be careful.Mercedes have the car and many drivers can drive it to victory may be a chance Damlier may be willing to take.
Except that I don't think any team will be willing to pay 40-50 million for a driver these days. especially with such a talented group coming up from F2. Merc can put anyone in that car and still win... Perez, Hulk, Kimi.
Cost capping f1 knee capped driver salaries throw in covid a predictable out come race day and the team has the power lewis will take a hair cut then again a shave job.This will be the outcome behind closed doors.
I expect a one-year cut-price deal and then Hammy to leave the team to take a sabbatical after next year. His mind seems to be elsewhere so he just wants his flawed records and then get out by the looks of it. If he was committed for the long term he wouldn't be a free agent by 17 September when he's got the only car that can win.
Lewis will go into the tee shirt and printing business that promotes his beliefs and he can really ramp up the black lives matter rant.His first tee shirt ALL LIVES MATTER.
Speaking of Lewis. Kimi posted this on his IG story last night and affirmed by love of him 10 fold. LOL

The FIA says that Racing Point (Aston Martin) will be able to use the 2020 Mercedes gearbox and suspension next year, without having to use development tokens for it. They clarified it again because there have been quite some disputes over it.
@AMus
And in the meantime Ferrari accepted everything, because it is good for the sport, right?!
Horner is also saying that the Alpha Tauri 2021car will be a sister car to the Red Bull, so every team is becoming more interbred, but how come Ferrari are having to use tokens just to get an ICE that has enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding? For the good of the sport we need the field to be closer together but all teams must be treated equally, no matter what Binotto has agreed.
Yeah we should make Alfa and Haas our sisters to, more data etc win win.
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
So Mercedes are now creating an environment where near half the cars could basically be clone cars. Other large teams would have to react since if a team does this it would give them an advantage. We could have less unique cars as a result and indirectly F1 could look more like a spec series.
