Another piece of the puzzle that is the 2025 Formula 1 grid has slotted into place with Sergio Perez extending at Red Bull.
But only 11 of the 20 seats for next year have been confirmed, and there is still a lot of movement that could happen before the grid is set.
At the top half of the grid, only Mercedes is yet to finalise its line-up, however it is becoming ever more apparent that its protégé Kimi Antonelli will receive the call-up to partner George Russell.
Alpine will have a changed line-up after Esteban Ocon's exit was confirmed, paving the way for Pierre Gasly to extend and be joined by fresh blood - will it be rookie Jack Doohan who gets the call-up, or is there a more experienced option available?
Williams is seeking a partner for Alex Albon with Logan Sargeant struggling ever since his arrival to the grid last year, with Carlos Sainz associated with a move to the Grove-based outfit.
Sainz has also been mooted to join Stake F1 alongside Nico Hulkenberg ahead of its transition to Audi in 2026.
RB's entire line-up is yet to be confirmed with Liam Lawson waiting on the sidelines while Haas also has both seats open - however, Oliver Bearman is heavily linked with a drive following his impressive debut at Ferrari earlier this year.
