F1 fans have declared who they would like to see take up the second seat at Haas for next year's campaign.
Oliver Bearman has signed to the American outfit, with the rookie driver penning a multi-year deal with the team.
However, the identity of his team-mate is yet to be confirmed, with Haas declaring it is looking at maintaining experience in its line-up.
Kevin Magnussen, who currently races for squad, is an option - but according to RacingNews365 readers, he is not the ideal candidate.
That label goes to Stake F1's Valtteri Bottas who is looking to secure his future in the coming weeks.
35.4 per cent of voters believe Bottas should be handed the seat, while following closely behind, 33.6 per cent of the votes went to Magnussen.
RacingNews365 understands that Esteban Ocon is the favourite for the drive, with the Frenchman securing just 11.7 per cent.
