Which driver I will replace if moving teams

Recommended Posts

I am thinking of moving into Williams/Sauber in the middle of my first season. Is there a possibility to know which driver I will replace in the new team?

Bar the first team you pick where you can choose its always been 2nd driver you replace. I've yet to move in 2018 though so won't speak for this and as the contract scenario has evolved I wouldn't like to guess. once McLaren are max in all areas I will jump over to a low team again to begin a new adventure! But there have been people saying they have seen drivers in teams switching driver role from 1st to 2nd and vice versa so if that is true you may have the ability to influence a certain team swap at a time a driver you want to replace becomes a number 2 if not already.

Sirotkin for Williams. And I think Ericsson is still 1st driver as Leclerc is number 2 for Ferrari next year, so even though Leclerc is doing great Sauber have to again rely on the unreliable Ericsson.

I have two seasons going, in my second I switched to Mercedes after 8 races at Force India, I negotiated for the second driver position and replaced Hamilton, not Bottas, AI drivers seem to switch driver positions based on performance as well. When I switched Bottas was leading the drivers championship.

Depends if you choose first or second driver in the contract. If you choose 2nd driver, you will replace the one that is lower in the championship.
