Lando Took Zandvoort, Kimi Took a Penalty, I Took the Mic

First, I would like to revisit the confirmed driver seats.

Me and Ashley touched on it last episode, but we were a bit all over the place.

And then again, there were several announcements made after we recorded and before the race started.

So let's just every team real quick.

I got it all laid out here.

Thoughts and ideas coming to you right now.

McLaren, Lando Norris, has a multi-year extension beyond 2030.

His contract also includes one of his winning Formula One cars as a gift.

That's interesting.

Oscar Piastri, he does have a multi-year deal beyond 2026 until at least 2028.

Ferrari, they've got Lewis locked in.

For 2027.

And the Clare, 2028.

I think both of these guys will end up being at Ferrari for a while.

Last year, I would have said no way.

Hamilton, he's got next year and he's done.

But this year has gone so much better.

So I do think he's a lot more optimistic and definitely backing away from any retirement plans.

Rumors and same with Charles Leclerc.

I mean, why leave now? Max Verstappen, this was the big one because there were so many rumors that he may go to Mercedes or Aston Martin.

And he's not going to either because he's going to stay at Red Bull until at least 2030.

And oh, earlier this year, he was talking about leaving F1 completely.

Like, okay, Max, let's, I mean, I'm glad he didn't stick to his word, but he does just say things sometimes just to complain.

Isaac Hezier has not been confirmed for next year.

I think they will keep him.
