A couple of the last teams are saying goodbye, their place will be taken by the previously announced/rumored pair of Nico Hülkenberg - Gabriel Bortoleto.
Guanyu Zhou's performance has been almost zero lately, the Chinese driver has not shown any qualities that F1 drivers generally have. Valtteri Bottas' light has long since faded, the Finnish driver may have broken a little, and therefore the decision of the Stakes decision-makers is completely understandable.
"Based on our honest and open discussions with Guanyu Zhou and Valterri Bottas, we have come to the conclusion that working together can no longer continue, its terms cannot be met, and so we have come to the decision that our paths will diverge. However, we would like to emphasize that a big thank you goes to both of them for what they have done for the team over the past three years. They are true professionals who can deal with both success and defeat, and whose experience and enthusiasm have greatly supported the team to become stronger and more competitive," the team said in a statement.
Two Formula 1 careers ended so quietly because we don't see many chances that these names will ever be on the grid again in their lives.
