Well, that's a pretty surprising decision. I guess he's got enough cash in the bank to give it up and enjoy life with his family now.
Certainly leaves a good seat available for next year though. Merc were always looking to Wehrlein to be their next big star in F1 but expect they were thinking a few years down the line rather than now. He hasn't showed that well against Ocon so the door could be open to some contract shuffles up and down the grid.
Alonso trying to get out of McLaren? He's only got a couple of seasons left at most and has always wanted a crack at another title.
Vettel has been pretty unhappy at Ferrari this year, and gets on well enough with Lewis...
Or someone else? Carlos Sainz Jr is pretty well rated.... doubt either Ricciardo or Verstappen would contemplate the move considering the rule changes and the high probability that Adrian Newey will pull a blinder again...
