Many teams would like to secure the services of the Mexican. One of the interested parties would be Williams where he would take the seat of George Russell, although under contract with the Grove team until 2021.

As if that wasn't enough, the Williams driver came to support his defense a little more. “ The new bosses will be present this weekend. I think everything will be cleared up but I'm not worried. I will be on the grid with Williams next year "He insists.
