I don't see Merc wanting Ocon unless it's for a single year. He's not an upgrade on Russell, has a rep for being hard to work with and they have Antonelli in the wings so he's not going to want to risk it all for a year at Merc.
To be honest that's exactly why I think Ocon will go there. Hold Atonelli's seat for a year. I haven't been following F2 too closely, but he hasn't exactly been setting the world alight. So I imagine they'll want to keep a close eye on the performance. I'd be surprised if he gets the Merc seat next year. I'd be betting on him taking Sargeant's seat.

Audi will be shit in '25, I can't see how they can go from back of the pack to anything more than consistent midfield considering where Sauber are now. If he goes there, Sainz needs to view it as a multi-year project to get back to the front. He'd be better at Mercedes tho.
