For us neutrals anyway, we'd love for someone to give that a try. I don't think drivers are beholden to team loyalty the way footballers are -- would love to see that sort of mixing up next season.
No they are not, but I always remember and connect legendary drivers with F1 teams.
For example I always think of Michael Schumacher as Ferrari driver in red suit, but in the early F1 days he was in Benetton team, and in later days he was in Mercedes GP Petronas team.
Mick Schumacher is said to be joining Cadillac next season in 2026, no confirmation of contract as of yet but the talks are going very well I have seen official F1 Instagram pages. The drivers are always there in the team which treats them better and they are always hoping to be in the winning car during each season, therefore you can't have any driver like Maldini or Zanetti in Serie A, both captains and players of only one team and never "cheated" or betrayed them for a better team, in Formula 1 this is simply not possible as every driver wants to win the Championship and they are always eager to be trying to get in the winning car if they are not already there. The drama though is now in Redbull team and Mercedes as if one driver like Versappen wants to move to Mercedes than everything is disrupted in Mercedes team, also in Redbull space remains open for other drivers.
