The rumors are "slowly" condensing ...

The Perez contract is said to include a severance payment clause that can be extended until July 31. For a high single-digit million amount, the collaboration could supposedly be ended prematurely and Vettel could be brought in for 2021. Whether billionaire Stroll would like that is questionable. Vettel emphasized that he was not interested in money and that he wanted to continue in the premier class.

Racing Point team boss Otmar Szafnauer did not completely rule out a possible commitment from Vettel. "It's flattering that everyone thinks that a four-time world champion could come to us," said the boss before the latest race in Austria.

Perez is gearing up for departure from Racing Point

Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez, according to a report, is already grappling with his departure from Racing Point, which would clear the way for Sebastian Vettel. The broadcaster ESPN Mexico reported on Thursday, citing sources not mentioned by name, that the 30-year-old was aware of the racing team's negotiations with the German and was already looking for alternatives.

Perez does have a contract that will continue until the end of 2022. However, this should contain a clause according to which the team can separate from the Mexican against payment of an alleged seven-digit sum. The US Haas team is repeatedly mentioned as a possible destination for Perez.

If Perez actually went, the place for the four-time world champion Vettel would be free. His contract with Ferrari expires after this season. Vettel will have driven for the Scuderia for a total of six years and should say goodbye in the red racing car without the hoped-for world title.

With the designated Aston Martin team, Lance Stroll would then be a teammate of 33-year-old Vettel. The 21-year-old is the son of billionaire co-owner Lawrence Stroll from Canada.

Mercedes A team P1 and P2
Mercedes B team suddenly good enough to get P3 and P4

Then the Mercedes C team suddenly massively improve.

Something definitely fishy is going on with the Mercedes B and C teams.

Like the same in the other Direction with Ferrrari/Alfa/Haas.....:unsure:

Imagine saving 400 jobs and a whole team from going bankrupt with your own money and signing a 5 year contract with the same team only to get dropped 2 seasons later because a world champion wants your seat while your not as good team mate can stay because his dad now owns the team.

Only in Formula One.
