They've got experience now. Wonder if they'll go with more experience or a rookie/american? I'm leaning towards the former as a start.

Probably a frontrunner as far as what's in the media. If Colapinto is dropped that could also be an option since he comes with financial backing and similar fan base.

Mercedes reserve Bottas clears the final hurdle before switching to Cadillac:
— Valtteri Bottas is set to become the first driver for the new Cadillac F1 Team, marking a significant step in his career. The finalization of his contract is expected to be announced soon, possibly during the Zandvoort event.
This is Formula 1

Why Valtteri Bottas is likely to serve outstanding F1 grid penalty on Cadillac debut
A key rule tweak by the FIA…

Lucky for him. Imagine first race back, for a brand new team and you have to serve a grid penalty...

According to the link he will have to serve it as the rule change isn’t retrospective.

Just watched the F1 Movie with my wife and Mother in law.
They both now want to watch the F1 races with me in future
Good movie, I enjoyed it and I can see why it is gaining new fans for F1.
Cheers

Great baseline to work with. Will be interesting to see how that team performs starting from scratch.

The overtaking in the F1 movie was hilarious. If that were possible, F1 would be the most popular sport in the world. Maybe the F1 teams need to seek Bruckheimer's insight into developing a F1 car. 
I think that is what is generating so may new fans.
Zandvoort had better put on a good show next weekend, with exciting racing, or a lot of bubbles are going to be burst for the new fans thinking that all F1 races are like that.
At least though they did show a lot of the behind the scenes team work and discussions so the new fans already know that it is not just down to a driver.
I want LH to retire mainly because I feel these guys are keeping young drivers out of seats. Same goes for Alonso.

There's only one rookie in the top 10 and 4 rookies in the bottom 5. If anything they're overrepresented slightly. There are 6 under 25 races. Probably 9 up to 200 races and the remaining 5 over 200 races.
