I would just swap them. Sainz to Mercedes for one year.
Sainz has long been rumored to be joining Audi F1 when they come in 2026 so he could go to Sauber (soon to be Audi) for 2025, it could all work out fine in the end.

I started seeing the announcements on social media this morning and kept thinking it's February 1 not April 1! I still honestly don't believe it.

i wish they would! i want to this NOW!!
i don't want to wait 13 months before this actually happens. based on the clause in his contract, we got this news much earlier than we normally do. silly season starts Feb 1st.
i'd love to be a fly on the wall and see how Merc handles this internally.

The bad news is we have to put up with that idiot for at least 2 more years. His only goal is to get 8 WDC. He can’t stand that Schumacher shares that record with him.

Hate to break it to you Moe, but it's at least 3 years and an option for another (2024 with Merc, then 2 more years with Ferrari and an option for a third). The goal for an 8th WDC is unrealistic because there is nothing that leads us to believe Ferrari can do that coupled with his advanced age and diminished skillset. His goal was to have a final drive contract with a storied team and get a bigger pay check than he could at Mercedes.
