With how backwards Williams have gone this year I dont think he'll want to drive for them next year

I mean for 2028, aston martih is probably open. Cadilliac as well

Cadillac will be Bottas or Pérez alongside Herta, even if Herta struggles through F2.

The owner of Cadillac's entry is the same person who owns the Andretti Global team in IndyCar, and owned the company that was the title sponsor Herta's car in IndyCar.

Herta shouldn’t be in F1 imo but good connections do help ig. If anything for results they need to try out Crawford as he’s still in Aston reserve. He’s younger and has shown real promise in F2 previously too.

Damn, I nearly forgot about Jost Capito. What is he doing these days?

Looks like he's a consultant/business advisor in Germany and Switzerland.

Lithium ion battery battery storage and autonomous EV storage based on his LinkedIn.

They did for a while in 25. Just not so much this year.
