Haas pairing will be Zhou Guanyu & Ollie Bearman.
Chinese sponsors and strategic things for Gene Haas other business interests will probably swing this.
I can see one big problem with this. A major talking point for the upcoming elections here in the States is who can be the toughest on China. Every candidate seems to want to out-sanction their opposition. Any Chinese sponsorship deals could be outlawed as quickly as the Uralkali sponsorship deal. For Gene, it could well be a case of "once bitten, twice shy."
Ferrari will pretty much require Bearman. I look for him to be paired with Ocon or Bottas.
My dark horse pick would be Sargeant, strictly to have an American driver with an American team. Since Andretti might end Hass's time as the American team, an American driver might be a good PR move.
