Maybe he's holding out for a competitive package in the next few years?
Or maybe his cards were marked with the honey badger going taking his seat and he wanted a drive and RB said no?

RB won't put him in a car with Max again after the fireworks at STR, I don't think he had many options, McLaren may well be a good move but that is only if they can design a good car, I would think they have already started as next years cars will look very different to this years.

Gasly will go to RB and they will move another junior driver up to the seat in STR

Kimi may still be at Ferrari for 2 years as well

I have a feeling Alonso will end up in a very Orange IndyCar

Force India have also dropped the "Sahara" from their title

Just for the un-informed, where is Daniel off to ?

If Renault can deliver, I actually think that could be a tidy pairing!

Renault is very capable of delivering, they have done it before so presumably they have the know how :)

If they could use the 1.5 ltr turbo engine from the 80's they probably would, about 1,300HP for the race and 1,500HP for qualifying (although it only had 1 good lap at that output)

I think Gasly will give Verstappen a run for his money! Should be interesting to watch!

If Red Bull let him. I'm not convinced there weren't team orders when Vettel and Webber and Vettel and DR were paired together.
Red Bull have a lot of money riding on MV's annual salary.

Well that’s true! I think that’s partly the reason Daniel decided to leave, it’s heading down the same road as Ferrari, one person based team!

So turns out Alonso turned down Red Bull! Christian Horner looks a tad stupid now!

Honestly, I don’t know! Alonso likes to stir things up but Horner obviously doesn’t like it when things don’t go the way he wants!
I suppose in a way it’s nice that we will never know!

I cannot see anyone wanting Alonso as he tells it how it is.
