Safest seats on the grid: Max & Lance.

And one of those is not like the other.

no way Mercedes fires Lewis. I think Lance could be kicked out if a better driver is available

I think it comes down to Papa Stroll. Alonso is showing that AM can be competitive so Papa Stroll has to ask himself what his he paying for. Is he paying for his sons hobby or does he want to fight in the constructors. Because it's clear it can't be both, Lance simply isn't good enough to fight in the constructors. Without Lance they'd probably be fighting with Ferrari for third, but instead they're at risk of McLaren beating them.

It's not hard to find a better driver than Lance, it's simply a question of whether his father will keep financing his hobby or decide it's time for an actual team.
