Research done by Motorsport-Total suggests that Carlos Sainz still remains the main prospect of the transfer market in Formula 1, while Mercedes looks to await a decision from Red Bull superstar, Max Verstappen. The 26-year-old has been heavily rumored to move away from the Milton-Keynes outfit; however, no evidence has backed the same.

As the current campaign proceeds, various reports and rumors start stemming from officials of various teams as well as the media, with only a few being of a verified standard. But the conclusive news, out of all currently states that Kimi Antonelli is far from being a confirmed pilot for the silver arrows in 2025.
