No surprises there tbh.
I'm not surprised about them keeping both in the end, but I'm a bit surprised how early it was announced. I would've expected them to explore possible options a bit longer, especially from the point of view of pairing Hülkenberg with a young driver. Seems like they prefer to stick with the safe choice.
This is very true. I also didn’t expect them to announce it this early… but as I mentioned in another comment “never change a winning team”.
But to all fairness, they a both doing great. As you mentioned, I also think they prefer more experienced drivers… and who is left in this category?
Gene was at the last or second-to-last racing weekend and they clearly signed back then.
