With Lewis Hamilton already signing a contract extension, which driver shall join him? Knowing that the seven-time World Champion is surely going to be there until the 2023 season, he will try to elaborate upon his legacy season after season. But will it be possible without Valtteri Bottas beside him? As the Finn driver shall be without a team entering the 2022 season, if things remain the same.

But all eyes will be on the driver who grabs the second seat, as the Championship battle against Red Bull gets tougher season after season.
