With Formula 1 Silly Season in full swing, which drivers will end up driving for which teams in the 2020 season? Let’s take a look at the most logical scenarios and make sense of the rumors.

The 2019 Formula 1 season’s summer break is coming to a close at the end of this week, and 2020 Silly Season is in full swing.

There have not yet been many driver confirmations for next year, and as a result, the rumors about which drivers will end up driving for which teams have only intensified over the course of this four-week break.

Of the 20 projected seats on next year’s grid, 10 among eight of the sport’s 10 teams have confirmed drivers, although one of these 10 confirmations is somewhat questionable given the team’s current situation.

Regardless, at least 10 open seats among eight of the sport’s 10 teams remain, and that means there have been and will continue to be plenty of rumors about how next year’s driver lineup will look.

Which drivers have been confirmed for the 2020 season and which drivers are rumored to land in which of the remaining open seats?

Let’s get started by looking at the top two teams, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport and Scuderia Ferrari, before looking at the other eight teams as we try to make sense of some of the rumors and factor in those rumors with what has already been solidified for next year.
