I really thought they would keep bottas

Shame to see them go, I know I'll be wearing my Alfa Romeo shirt next race

Seems a little insensitive to announce dropping these two then immediately start teasing and revealing the new drivers, but oh well.

I think it's actually more gracious than what Red Bull keeps doing in silently dropping people without a word and only announcing signings.

I guess that's true, but Red Bull isn't much of a benchmark for acting appropriately in my eyes lol

Shame for them, but honestly can't say I'd miss them at this point, at least not with Kick. I often forgot they were even part of the race, can't remember any memorable moment from either in the past season(s), except for Zhou's crash in Silverstone.
