The Formula 1 Bonus Round of the Driver Silly Season is at speed and sounding more like an afternoon soap opera than a turbo charged round.
Mercedes AMG Petronas remains silent. Botas remains the favorite to take the seat vacated by Rosberg. The British papers report that five million pounds have been found to entice Massa back to the Williams team he really didn’t want to leave. This would appear to have it all over but the ink drying and the announcement. Not so fast. The rumor mill has everyone wondering how long they want to fill that seat and how long Hamilton will stay.
Vettel is a wild card. Unhappy with the performance of his 2016 Ferrari, is he a candidate. Raikkonen’s resurgence and team relationship may have him in the lead position and Vettel open for a move.
Button is a long shot but could be a short term option on loan from McLaren. This option is based on how interested Mercedes are in Michael Schumacher's son. The younger Schumacher has been moving up in classes and is headed to F3 this season. He could be a long term prospect.
The driver silly season bonus round should end about the time the last 2017 car is revealed. Keep in mind some teams never do a reveal opting to just show up in Australia. Thus, the silly season never really ends.
