In the aftermath of the shocking news of
Lewis Hamilton's switch to
Ferrari, many names have already been linked to the
Mercedes seat that becomes vacant in 2025. One surprising name has come forward (with a joke) for the
Formula 1 seat:
David Coulthard.
In the past, Coulthard has also jokingly applied for a seat at the then AlphaTauri (now
Visa Cash App RB F1 Team),
Red Bull Racing's sister team. So now he reports to
Toto Wolff's team:
"Heard you might be looking for an experienced driver next year," he addresses the team directly in a post on
Instagram.
