Adding further chaos into the mix is Sauber junior driver Theo Pourchaire, who is currently fighting for the F2 title with the likes of Frederik Vesti and Ayumu Iwasa.
However, a left-field name could be in contention for a spot with the Audi team after Alunni Bravi made his admiration for Fernando Alonso public knowledge.
Bravi's Alonso admiration
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Alunni Bravi said: “I would always sign Fernando, even at 45 years or more.
“I was able to get to know him well at McLaren when I was the manager of Stoffel Vandoorne, who was his team-mate.
"I was able to see first-hand the work he can do on a day-to-day basis as a driver, his ability, his great determination.
“He is a champion. You don’t win two F1 world titles if you don’t have certain characteristics.
"It’s a pleasure for me to see him.”
