Current driver Pascal Wehrlein will probably be signed who he will race alongside is still up for grabs. But Manor Racing is very much up in the air. Ericsson is almost definitely going to sign and Nasr just needs to resolve his sponsorship issues. The Sauber team isn’t expected to change. We should expect the teams to be finalized some time after the 2016 season. Esteban Gutiérrez was let go by Haas and is desperately looking for a team, and Nasr is open to joining Manor, but it seems more likely that he will stay with Sauber. Haryanto, who was scheduled to drive for Manor in 2016 but ultimately lost out due to a lack of funds, has managed to pick up some high profile investors for 2017. Also in the mix for Manor are current driver Pascal Wehrlein, reserve driver Rio Haryanto, and Haas-reject Esteban Gutierrez. One option Nasr is considering is Manor Racing MRT, which is looking for two drivers for 2017. This is frustrating for all involved, but it’s likely to go the team’s way in the end. Though the driver is more than happy to stay, the team is having difficulties negotiating with his sponsors.

Ericsson has toyed with the idea of switching teams throughout the year, but as his options dwindle, it seems likely that he’ll stay at Sauber for 2017.įelipe Nasr is where the complications are for Sauber. Sauber is still in talks with their 2016 drivers, Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr, and have not openly considered any replacements. With most of the transfer issues resolved, only two teams have not declared their 2017 list - Manor Racing MRT and Sauber-Ferrari. The team was able to sign both drivers until 2018. Mercedes AMG Petronas also managed to lock in their power duo, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, who are currently preparing for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. All the recent announcements and signings for the 2017 Formula 1 roster have caused quite a stir - Haas did not renew Esteban Gutiérrez’s contract and instead picked up Kevin Magnussen Felipe Massa’s retirement opened the door for 18-year old Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon of Manor Racing was picked up by Renault.
