Some of those theories seem a little "off center" .. but in F1, that's usually the ones that come true.  Personally, the idea of Kimi going back to Sauber seems ridiculous, but I wouldn't rule out McLaren ... and I wouldn't rule out Vandoorne being dropped either.   

Williams is a tougher gamble, with both Stroll & Sirotkin bringing pots of gold to the team, so who knows if Kubica will ever solidify a role, other than observing from the garage???

As far as Haas, Toro Rosso and Force India, ANYTHING!! is possible, as the talented side of the garage "could" move onto better pastures.

Best Regards,

Kimi is in a tough spot.  He is a reliable driver for Ferrari, but unlikely to win a championship for them, especially as Vettel's teammate.  So does Ferrari want someone who is reliable, or do they want to groom someone to replace Vettel?

If LeClerc is a future champion, is he best served getting everything out of the Sauber, or building up a relationship with his team at Ferrari in Vettel's shadow?

As much as I love seeing Kimi in a top F1 car, I can appreciate that's not long term thinking for Ferrari's success.  (If it were up to me I'd see Kimi/LeClerc, but it's not and we won't)

If Ferrari won't let LeClerc have a fair shot at
Vettel what's the use. Kimi has pretty much accepted
what he's there for. Looks like Charles is a sponsors dream.
Looks,personality,and so for seems like a nice enough guy
